How to Open the Front Panel on a Kenmore Elite Dryer
- 1). Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet.
- 2). Locate the spring clips on the front panel of the dryer. They will be located about 3 inches from each side of the dryer.
- 3). Using a putty knife, push on the spring clips, pulling the cabinet away. This releases the springs that hold the bottom of the upper panel, allowing you to open the panel.
