remove the 4 8mm headed screws, the front duct lifts up about 12mm, lift from the bottom and pull towards you, with the bottom out of its retainers the rest is simple.

i replaced a capacitor on one of these a few days ago, i found it easier to take the screws out from the right side them you can just about get access to the capacitor, it is a fiddly job. everything is done from the front so no need to remove circlip

garn has by the sound of it never done one of these nightmare of jobs on this type of appliance, so just for eperiance if its in a workshop just go for it and do a full strip down, the next time it a lot quicker but it will still get you down. LOL.

Iv Just Had it lose Thanks i really appreciate the push forward i didn’t have the strength to pull the front up so i used 2 flat screwdrivers on the bottom holders like bob said and prized forward and up individually.

Thanks i though i was going to break it was tight

Why should anyone want to shoot you down, unless of course you don’t want to share your 20 minute method with us all. ❓

That is what UKWG’s is all about, helping each other, so come on, enlighten us. 😀

Please tell me why you have dissconeted all the front pcbs relay excetra . no need to do this at all simple waiste of time ?
once you have the top off and the lids sides off you can un do the top scews , 4 scews hold the front panel on 2 to the right
match the orther 2 up that hold the hinges on . bottom plate , un screw all that is there , that comes off then move the front
pannell to the right hand side . 2 screws hold the front condenser to the vent pluss the 4 bolts to the cabnet . yes the tricky bit
2 flat scew divers prise the front up , it slides up from the bottom and up and out. , cir clip off the drum pull up and out whilste pushing the belt backword
off the drum . . so very simple the rest is easy to do . cap replacement is all so easy front off as i have (but just bottom panel) said fan housing will come off turn it to the right it will come out with a little effort.
one handed find the cap, 13 mill spanner un do , yes its fiddley lol yes it can be done . I HAVE DONE IT MANY TIMES …

I am glad you not my engineer 6 hours turn a round in a work shop . wow

(edit) any spelling mistakes are due to being dislexic , this a true fact , ask any one that might no me lol
