You will have to take some pannels off,the top of the washer will probably be held by screws at the back near the top and maybe one each side at the front,the top/lid has to be slid forward and lifted up to remove it,or you may manage by removing only the back panel,even when you see the bolts it will be a bit tight to get to them,a socket set is useful.
