Lifting top of GE clothes dryer
 
I have a year old GE clothes dryer. With my old dryer, I just put a screw
driver between the top and front to push in the clamps (or whatever they are
called) to lift the top of the dryer. I want to remove the front of the dryer
to vaccuum out the lint buildup. I cannot push the clamps in to loosen the
top. Any ideas?

I fixed a dryer at work not long ago, I don't remember what make it was, it
may have been a GE. I put the dryer on its side, then removed two screws at
the bottom of the front panel and that allowed me to remove the front panel
and access the inside.

I hope this works for you. Let us know.

Some, you need to use a putty knife.

We found the screws that loosen the top, took it off, decided taking the front
off in our limited space was too complicated, and had a hard time putting the
top back.

We do appreciate all the suggestions.
