Re: How do I remove the cabinet from mt Kenmore front...
Screws along the bottom of the front lower panel. This will get access to find the leak. If it is up high the top comes off with 3 screws at the back top edge and slide forward. Eric

Try taking off the top. This is held by two spring clips that can be released using a pair of putty knives. Slide the putty knives in from the front of the cabinet on each side so that you push down on the clips. Then you can remove the top. The clips are part 6 on the top and cabinet diagram here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/2y7mjzejlr-000582/kenmore-11022992103-washer-parts .
I hope this helps. We had a problem with a similar washer and the only way to access the inlet valves was to remove the top, as above.
If the machine is not pumping the water out during the spin cycle, then it could be a couple of things. First, it could be that the cycle timer is faulty and needs to be replaced, or it could be that the water pump is bad and that needs to be replaced. Either way, the repair is cheaper than a new machine.
Could be a tub seal leaking (not likely), or water pump leaking (very common), cracked outer tub, leaking hose. You would really need to take washer cabinet off machine to be able to see where it's actually leaking.
Probably a bad water pump. That is were the Kenmore usually leaks.
2 screws on the top panel right and left sides.
Remove these screws, tilt the control head backwards.
Remove the wiring harhess connector.
Remove 2 clips holding the cabinet to the back panel.
Remove the cabinet by pulling forward.
Pump is attached to front of motor.
I have a kenmore front load washer, model: 417 42042100 It makes loud noise and becomes louder during the spin cycle. The drum is loose when I inspected through the front door. My problem is how to open the cabinet and replace any broken parts.
DO YOU MEAN THE SPIN RINSE CYCLE OR FILL UP?THE FRONT COMES OFF FROM UNDER THE TOP SEAM,USE A PUTTY KNIFE ON EACH OF THE FRONT SIDES,PUSH IN ON THE CLIP AND PULL OUT ON THE FRONT PANEL,DO THIS ON BOTH FRONT SIDES,LET ME KNOW,THANKS-MIKE
The whole cabinet comes off on this washer. Too remove you need to remove 2 screws in console. These may be in back on the right and left ends of console or may be in front on each end. If you can-not find them they might be hidden under plastic end trim. They are located in front of console on both ends. To remove pry them up from the inner lower edge and peel towards outside of washer. Then remove screws and shake console back and forth while pulling up. Console will hinge back. Remove to gold colored clips with screwdriver prying at front. Make note of the position of these clips. Unplug lid switch harness and pivot cabinet back and off. The usual spot for a leak is the pump. Check for stain coming from area on pump where motor shaft enters. The pump can be removed by taking off the 2 clips. Also check small diameter hose that enters side of wash tub in back side. Make sure this is attached to tub.
