Here is the part Part number: AP2142648 Take off the rear access panel and release the belt. Then insert a screw driver in the gap between the top and front near the edges to release clips and flip up the top. You can now take off the front, lift the drum out by the belt and repair it. I would replace the belt and pulley, and make sure you clean everything out, thoroughly!
