take panels off wf440 to get to dispenser hose?

how do we get the front off Hotpoint WF440P washer as we think there is a leak from the dispenser hose. we can't get the hose out without taking machine apart but this seems impossible. is it 1 whole unit? or are the panels separate?

done
take out the top rear edge screws that are holding the lid on, strike the front top edge of the lid rearwards then push it back a couple of inches, now lift it off to see the pipes, drum ,etc
