I've done a few videos with this WTW5057LW, and many similar styles of this have major issues removing the top. I found Whirlpool's secret tech manual that explains removal, and try their way to get it done easily, and explain why it works and why its also difficult or impossible doing it the original way that worked for Whirlpool topload washers from 2009 - 2021. Tools I use in all videos can be found at my Amazon Idea Page: https://www.amazon.com/shop/bensappli... Did this video help you out?
