I wish to change the heater element in my Zanussi FJS1397W. How do I get into the machine. Is there a simple way of removing the front panel of my machine?

You need to remove the lid (2 screws at back) then take out the soap drawer and remove screws, remove fronts of control knobs and knobs themselves, 2 screws at either end of the panel on the top 7mm, then pull panel whilst separating white prongs from the metal frame behind the panel.
