How to remove control panel on front of Miele WT946i ?
The pan at the base of the machine is filling with water after a wash. In order to check for leakage I need to get at the drain hose and maybe the back bearing seal on the drum. With four plastic clips pushed out at the base and the front door off and the three screws out of the dispenser things are still too tight-if I don't want to do any damage. Any ideas/
Older machines....remove 3 hex bolts around doorway, soap box screws,unclip drain elbow in filter flap, release spring clip at bottom left of front panel and front panel will hinge open like a cupboard door.
newer machines... remove large torx head screw in doorway,remove retaining wire for door rubber and release front edge, remove screws holding door lock, remove kickplate, remove 2 screws each side bottom of front panel, drop front panel down.
