You need a putty knife or some type of thin dull blade. There are two tabs that you need to push in (front the front of the dryer) to get the lid to lift. If you notice the top part of the dryer looks like it lifts up, you will insert your putty knife in between the top part and the front door. When you pop the two tabs, the top opens away from you. Good luck.
