Trying to take the top off my Hotpoint WF860 ?

Hi there

I am trying to take the top off my Hotpoint WF860 Washing Machine and proceed to replace the door seal. I have removed the two screws at the back but the top still won't come off and I am worried in case I damage the front controls if I force it. Any suggestion most welcome ... thanks .

it will be for this guy if he cant even get the top off ,some hotpoints have two screws others have three replacing the tsg is not a hard job (tsg)
tub shell gasket as we called it in hoover be sure to remove the plug from the power source before you work on the machine

W/M tops usually slide to the rear and lift off.

Changing the seal looks like hard work...

Good luck...
