w. The repair was easy. I took off the inside cover. The wax motor is held in place with 2 clips. Needed a screw driver to pry off the power clips. Placed the wires on the new motor and placed the motor back in the clips.

moval of the wires. Since you are working with electrical part you should trip the breaker or unplug the machine. Unplugging may be very difficlut since you would have to remove the machine from from its place. There is no power to the connections, so I did not cut power. Just be careful.
