Yes take the top of the machince. take of the timer switch front cover, it just pulls off. on the front left hansdie there are two screws that screw i to the frnt panel once these are removed the top ront plastic cover coes off easiy just remember to pop the clip half way along the cover. this can te be move to the top of the machine. the baottom plasc cover just pulls off.
Remove the bottom metal plate. and then undo the screws that hold the middle cover to the top plate. this will then allow you to swing out the centre plate and door assembely. Becarful though as the eelctrics are attached to this and if you do not want to detach them then it will allow you limied access and you will have to prop the panel up and swung to the right.
If you do diectach them then make a good note of where the wires connect to for ease of reconnection.

you now should have access to replaceing the felt

you should note that this is also the best way to replace a broen drive belt as well.
