How do I remove the top to my dryer? - Dryers

1) unplug the dryer. 2) Remove the lint screen on the top of the dryer. 3) take the two phillips head screws out where the lint trap is. 4) with a flat head screwdriver pop the top of the dryer up by sliding the driver inbetween the top and front of the dryer and pry upwards a little. 5) on the left and right upper inner sides of the dryer you will find two screws, one on each side, remove these and the front should be easlily remove. 6) Next is to remove tension from the belt so that you can remove the drum. To do this simply reach under the drum and pull the idler pulley in the direction of the closest wall. This will give you the slack needed to take the belt off. 7) carefully pull the drum out. I usually do this by lifting up on the left from the top, using it as a handle. This is helpful because it also prevents the belt from getting snagged on anything underneath.
If the dryer is a DUET or HE2 or HE3 style, (dryers that match the front loader) then the way you take the top off is a little different. For these machines, there are 3 to 4 screws located on the top back side you'll need to remove, and then the dryer top can be slid back and removed.

If it taught, its good.
