Lid Screws AND Rivet!
Hidy. Examining door lock problem yesterday, wiring connector from lock badly scorched, so decided to replace wiring as well. Pulled out machine a bit. 4 screws in top and, unbelievably, a rivet directly above the dispenser drawer. (I assume two more screws at the rear.) The machine is fitted, and the top is a single piece of galvanised steel.
I am going to drill the rivet out; I won't be denied access, but just wondering if anyone got any warnings, or if anyone come across such stupidity before, and why they think this was done. Why would a rivet be placed in a lid that was otherwise held on by normal cross-head screws? My gast was truly flabbered. Never seen this before ever. Usual procedure nowadays to use specialist screw\bolt heads.

Cheers.

I've not heard of any washing machine where the lid doesn't come off by undoing screws at the back and then pushing it forwards or backwards (usually backwards). They usually have a part the slides and locks at the front or in the middle and sometimes you have to knock it reasonably hard to slide the lid back and then lift off.
