Remove Washing machine Control Panel

    I need to remove the front control panel on washing machine to replace a switch at the front.

    In the past, on other machines this has involved unscrewing the front panel and top panel of the machine. Or there would be screws behind the washing powder drawer.

    There is no screws on front or side or behind powder drawer.

    Any ideas.

    If there are no screws holding the top panel in place chances are its designed to be prised
    open with a thin blade and lifted, are there any "notches" along the join?

    just notice 2 screws on teh back (kind of hexagonal) . Willl need a socket or a pliers to get them off.

    Hopefully if I get the top off, I can find a away to get the control panel off. As I said there is no screws at the front.

    those screws are probably Torx. the if you get the right size hex key it will work, otherwise a flat blade screwdriver, but has to be the right size also.
    Slide back the lid and lift off, should be some of the same screws for the control panel.
    cant help anymore im afraid, these can be utterly mindbending. but, you may be able to get at the switches without removing the panel
