take lid off.take all the screws out the back kidney shaped panel.take all the screws out the whole back panel.remove the heater.remove the drum circlip and washer.disconnect wiring.if its a condensor one all the fan has to come off.They ain't giving you much of a deal on part but its up to you.Like you say not worth getting someone in as it would be as cheap to buy a new one!
If its a condensor one and the fan needs to come off you sometimes have to breeak them off and its a pig of a job!
