Miele lid removal

[simtoms]

Hi folks,

I’m in a slightly embarrassing situation of not knowing how to remove the lid on a recent model Miele washer drier. The model is a WTH120WPM. The machine was dropped on delivery and the front panel has popped out of its lower right mounting, causing excessive vibration on spin.
it seems that I can’t get the front panel off without removing the lid and fascia but there are no side screws on the lid of this model, and no obvious way to remove it 🙁
thanks in advance

a lot of Miele lids have a screw left and right, on the side of the lid near the front

if yes
undo screw but dont remove and push the screw in to undo the lock

The newer a Miele have a less obvious screw cover that round and flush with the lid. I use a Stanley blade to ease them out, after that it’s the normal way to remove the lid.

Thanks for replies.
It must have the flush covers.
I noticed a circular spot on the side of the lid but didn’t realise that it was a cover.
Appreciate the help.
