I'm trying to remove the front panel to check the front of the drum - it has dropped down and is rubbing on the heating element housing. I have removed the lower front panel but am having trouble determining how to remove the upper part of the front panel. Do I have to remove the entire cabinet to get a look at the front of the drum?
Thanks, Bob

Thanks, Bob Bob, Here's the access information you need. I think, you'll find the drum cyclinder guides on the front bulkhead have worn out, or you have something stuck between the bulkhead and cyllinder. :) :) :) Service Access Panel
• Remove screws located at bottom edge of service
access panel to release service access panel.
NOTE: Top edge of service access panel is held in
place by two panel locator(s) located on top
flange of service access panel.
NOTE: Service access panel must be removed first to
remove front panel.
NOTE: Top edge of front panel is held in place by two
spring clips and panel locator(s) located on top
flange of the front panel.
1. Disconnect power supply to unit.
2. Remove screws securing bottom of front panel.
3. Lift the bottom of front panel outward to release the
spring clips and panel locator(s).
4. Disconnect and label wire terminals from door
switch.
5. Reverse procedure to reassemble.
Front Panel Seal
1. Remove front panel, see “Front Panel” procedure.
2. Remove front panel seal from flange around the door
opening.
NOTE: Verify panel seal is properly positioned when
installing front panel.
Front Bulkhead Assembly
1. Disconnect power supply to unit.
2. Remove front panel, see “Front Panel” procedure.
3. Remove belt from motor and idler pulleys.
4. Remove screws securing bulkhead to front side

on flange of duct. If seal is installed improperly
air flow will be restricted which can cause poor
dryer performance.
