Unplug the Frigidaire's power cord from the wall.
Insert the tip of a flat-blade screwdriver into the crevice between the top of the washer and the front cover, 3 inches from the left corner. Pry up the top and pull the clip underneath. Remove the clip 3 inches in from the right corner as well.
Lift the top of the Frigidaire gently toward the back of the appliance where it will rest in the upright position.
Take out the screws on the left and right edges of the front cover.
Pull downward on the cover while gripping the part on the left and the right to disengage it from the cabinet sides. Pull off the cover and set aside. You can now access the interior of the Frigidaire.
