I am trying to open the front panel of my Kenmore / Whirlpool 29" dryer to service the rollers, idler pulley, and drive belt.
I have the top open and am trying to disconnect the door switch before unscrewing the front panel. The door switch has two wires leading to it and there is a convenient connector (3 conductor, only 2 are used) a few inches away from the switch. I've tried pulling at that connector as hard as I dare to unplug it, but no luck. It looks like there may be two tiny tabs to press, but I have no way to press tabs that tiny while pulling and trying to prevent damaging the wires. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The door switch connector part number is Whirlpool # 3936144.
(Yes, I could remove the entire switch, but was trying to avoid that.)
Thanks for any help!
