My dryer is becoming increasingly noisy. I would like to inspect inside but I need information on steps to removing the panel.

Simple. open the door of the dryer, and there will be 1 screw golding the top door hinge to the dryer front, remove it, and the one for the bottom hinge. Lift up on the door, and remove. Now, look on the other side on the front, as if you had a left hand door and remove those screws, and then the whole front will come off. Now you can kind of see everything. But, let me recommend to you, if you want to do it right, replace the 2 drum rollers, the idler pully wheel, and the belt. That way, you are good for another 7-10 years. On your dryer, to get to those parts, you need to take the face off of the drum, that has the door switch on it. There will be some 5/16s screws on each side, and then a few screws on the bottom of the front face on each side. Once that is removed, you have to pop the top up. On the very top of the front there will be a 5/16s screw holding a metal bract, hooked underneath the top. When you remove that screw, the bracket will come out. Do the same on the other side, and then lift the top up, and rest it on the back wall. Oh, I know you have this unplugged, before you do all this. Now, you have to take the front blower housing off, and there should be a 5/16s on the top right, and a 5/16 on the bottom left. Remove those, and the whole vent housing comes out. Now reach in on the back left side, a pop the belt off the idler pully, and then remove the drum. Now you can replace, what ever you like.
