Removing the Splendide 2000S

Yahoo Message Number: 19474
I recently had a thermostat/circuit board failure in the washer/dryer. Splendide has sent me a new thermostat and circuit board.
I plan to install the new parts myself; however, I am having a difficult time getting the machine clear of the cabinet. I removed the two rubber feet, but there is a small lip that won't clear the top of the plastic catch pan. Has anyone removed this machine? Do I have to notch out the top of the plastic pan or is there some other way? I have tried jockeying it around a bit, but no luck with this heavy sucker.
My installation is below the linen cabinet, forward of the bedroom, next to the shower. This is the Suite Sensation floor plan in a 2003 40 foot Intrigue.

Thanks

Chuck

Does the face frame of the cabinet have plugs in it? Just wonderd if it comes off?

As I remember, the front of the catch pan comes off. There is an adhesive and some screws that hold it in place. With it removed, then the washer will slide straight out...hope this helps you.

Chuck, RayandRue is right. The plastic pan is in two parts, the front is only about 1 to 1-1/2" wide and held in place with several screws on the floor and one on each side - all our covered with an adhesive. You might also have to remove the bottom edge of the cabnet which is held in place with three screws. After disconnecting the power and water and vent hoses you should be able to inch 'er out. My configuration might be different from yours but the above worked for me in reverse about 3 weeks ago when I put a Splendide 2100 in my new ( 06 ) Inspire. Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks to all whom provided advice. I got the sucker out.
It was quite simple once I was enlightened that the pan was not one piece. Removing that lip made removing the machine easy. In mine that lip was so well sealed, it made the pan look like it was all a single molded piece.

Thanks again

Chuck
