Answer 1

Remember the screws in the lint trap area. The top is usually friction fitted on two or more pins. remove the lint trap screws, then lift up on the front of the dryer, a gentle nudge with a screwdriver or putty knife will help.

I like http://www.repairclinic.com for good tips and generic diagrams. They also have the best prices I've found for parts.

Answer 2

just defeat a couple of latches that hold the top down with a
putty knife under the front lip on each side.

Answer 3

Would http://www.fixya.com/support/browse/dryers help? I was looking for sites with the manual for your model and that's the closest I could find (the rest charge for a copy).
