how to get the drum off a hotpoint wma 60?

Hi this is quite involved, you have to remove the front kick panel and panel where the soap dispenser is. Then undo the screws holding the front panel on, disconnect the wiring from the door lock, and lift this panel away, disconnect the heater element and then remove the spring clips taking note of where the shorter ones go, when all clips have been removed, pull the front of the inner drum off withdrawing the element as well, you should see if anything is in there, if you need to remove the drum then take the rear cover panel off, remove the drive belt and undo the big nut and unscrew the drive wheel, this will be tight. When this is off the drum should be able to be carefully pulled through, you may need to replace the water seal as well.
