Surprisingly easy. The error code told me exactly what was wrong. There are lots of video resources on U-Tube to show you have to do it.

Problem
Whirlpool cabrio showing SD error which is too many suds but the water just wouldn't finish draining.
Tools
Screwdriver, needle nose pliers and a hex L rench
Repair & Advice
First lean the washing machine back to get to the bottom. Take off the white cover with your L rench (this will take a lot of rotation but then pull with two hands to wiggle it off). Unscrew the 4 screws holding the big magnet copper looking thing but be careful because the cables and parts are connected to it. Un-clip the RP sensor, then use your needle nose pliers to un-clip the expanding push clip in the little arm hole of the RP sensor. Unhook the cords from the RP sensor and replace it with the new. Plug the cords back on and push in the expanding clip and reattch to the magnet copper thing. Place it back and reattch the screw with the metal plate and reattach the white cover.
