Now it's time to lift the top up, so I felt with a putty knife for the two clips that hold the top panel to the front panel. Grabbed a screwdriver and used it as a lever to pop those clips at each side of the machine.
Then I lift the top panel up, just like opening the hood of a car. This is where it's good that I got the ductwork out of the way. I used some twine and a clamp to hold the top up and out of the way.
Then I need to remove the front panel (which is the frame that holds the door.) I remove the sheet metal screws from the top.
And loosen the ones on the bottom. It just rests on these bottom ones, I don't have to take them all the way out.
