How to Repair a Broken Noise Filter
After the power and water are disconnected, you will need to pull out the washer so you can remove the Phillips screws on the console cover to remove it. It will need to be popped off with the flathead.
Now remove the two edge screws that hold the console on. The console will now tip forward.
You will now be able to see the noise filter. Remove the plastic cap over the noise filter and unplug the incoming and outgoing plugs. You can then unscrew the noise filter.
Screw in and connect the new noise filter and reassemble the console.
