How to replace Whirlpool Bleach dispenser hose?

(guessing at the age, btw)
Model number is correct: [FONT="]LST9355DQ0 The "Imperial" series top loader.
The hose for the bleach dispenser is worn and has a hole in it; I was able to troubleshoot a front/floor leak to that and got under there putting some ever popular duct tape over the tear (and tearing my arm in the process trying to reach all the way back with the washer on its side).
For now I just won't use the bleach dispenser, but how is that hose replaced? :confused:I can't see a way to easily access it. Does the top portion of the washer come off? I certainly am not going to pull the tub or anything like that. It all works fine except for that.
Thanks.

The video is of no help. While the text above says bleach dispenser, the video (which is truncated and ends at about 46 seconds) is for a water fill spout, not the bleach dispenser hose.
Do you have a better link?

I see that the video is not for that exact hose but does show how to access the interior of the cabinet. Once the cabinet is off, the bleach hose is simply pressure fit into the outer tub and is very easily removed for replacement. Once you get the cabinet off, you will need to remove the plastic top tub cover. It has tabs that you will need to apply pressure down on then pull out to release from the outer tub. Once that is removed, you can push the bleach hose into the outer tub and then install the new one in place from the inside of the outer tub, pressing it into place until the beveled ridge is locked in place on the outside of the outer tub.

Yes, thank you. When I played that video on another machine, I got the whole video. My first attempts cut off at about 45 seconds, and nothing could be determined by it. Now that I have seen the whole video it should be able to be taken care of...
