Having removed the door seal I am struggling to remove the front panel so that I can access to replace it. I know the top can't be removed, but has anyone got a service manual they can share or talk through removing the front panel?

Have you taken the soap drawer out and kick strip off to look for screws?

There doesn't appear to be a kick strip on this model!

What about behind the soap drawer?

Some Miele washing machines might have the front swing open it it should be reasonably obvious how to do it. Are you sure the lid won't come off?

It could be that the whole cabinet has to come off.

Yes the manual says explicitly that the top doesn't come off.

Removing the whole cabinet may be the way forward. Thanks!

Oh dear. Sounds like a ridiculous way to design a washing machine. Lids have always come off. Would hate to be a Miele engineer.
