    Once the screws are removed, push the lid from the front (towards the rear) with the palm of your hand. 😉

    Well it’s more of a very sharp push required, perhaps with both palms?

    Only need to push it back a fraction to clear the front plastic lugs from the fascia panel. Then it just lifts off!

    I work for them and as Grendel says just give it a smack i usually do it in the centre with one hand.
    Not normally a problem on washing machines it’s the tumble dryers that can be the difficult ones.
    Don’t worry you wont break anything.

    The belt part no = 1603287

    I guess you’ve done a few WMA belt changes?….They are just the same!

    In situ Hotpoint supply a belt fitting tool. Without one its a bugger but strong cable ties strapped to the drum pulley is the way forward. 😉

    To remove most of the new type lids with the large tabs, after removing screws use a large flat head screwdriver inbetween the frame and tab a gently lever each side, They dont break honest, Ive done a few like this with no problems, at least it saves bruising your palms.

    I guess our Northern palms are made of stronger stuff, 😛 😆

    I always use the sharp rap with the heels of both hands, never fails.
