How to remove & check soap dispenser AEG 16830 Lavamat?

The soap dispenser leaks v slightly from back right corner (if you are facing front of machine) about 1cm from where the inlet hoses join the dispenser. Can't clean properly from drawer slot.
I want to remove the dispenser, click the top off, clean & check why joint is leaking here, without removing anything unnecessary from main structure.
Once top is off, water stopped, elec unplugged etc, what is the minimum to take off so as to get to the dispenser.
eg do the front control panel and the silver H frame come off conveniently? Can I remove just one tub spring & one side of the H cross frame? Best to ask before wading in too deep!
AEG Lavamat Turbo 16830 washer dryer which otherwise works brilliantly, but I don't want the seeping water to get into any of the electrics or pump motor.
