have not got manual but i have just stripped a slightly diffrent model down to the base the whole of the back panel came away without to much of a problem and side panels have to be prized away from front there is one screw holding the fan cover in place which i couldnt see till i removed the drum it looks like this is the only way to get at the motor i dont think you could get the fan cover of without removing the drum but i was not trying to remove the motor at the tme
well it was less agro to remove the full back panel to get the drum out i did try the front but seemed to be more difficult to remove it, as i said i was not trying to remove the motor it was just what thought you would have to do if you wanted to get at it, this dryer is brand new if you need the motor let me know £ its badly damaged so its for spares
