My washer is leaking into the tub which an internet search says must be the inlet valve. If so, how do you access the valve on this machine? The sides and back appear to be one piece. there are two screws at the bottom of each side and a small access panel below the inlet valve. I'm waiting for the part and haven't wanted to move the dryer out of the way yet so, if anyone knows how to get into this, I'd appreciate it.

Well I like to have one of these in front of me as I respond but I don't. I think on this model you can remove the front panel by inserting a screw driver carefully in the gap between the top and front near the edges to release the clips that hold the front panel on. You can now remove screws that hold the top and get to the valves.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Screwdriver didn't work but by pulling the tub forward, I could feel the clips with my hands and easily release them. The top tilted back then and it all went smoothly. Thanks again.
