To replace the drive belt.
Do not take off the back, you will waste time and it is not possible to replace the belt from this direction.
At the back / top remove the two screws that hold the top in place. Slide the top backwards and remove from the plastic fittings holding it in place.
The whole front must be removed. Pull off the timer dial, it will pull straight off and it is not held on by screws or anything. Once removed take out the two screws behind it which secure the right end of the brown front panel.
From inside the unit there are 5 brown plastic pins about 5mm in diameter, remove, (slide off) the spring steel sleeves and ease the whole panel foward. Unclip the door release lever at the top and slip out the wiring loom from the cable clip on the side of the case. Reach down inside at the front and take off the two push connectors.
Remove the lower brown panel and take out all the screws holding the main white front panel
The whole of the front will now swing clear of the body of the dryer.
Fit the new belt round the drum, down between the tensioners and onto the motor drive spindle. Job done!
Re-assemble in the reverse of above. Time for a novice 45 minutes. Good luck.
