Hotpoint WMA30 Washing Machine?

How do I open the top off, I try to slide it back, but it doesn't give way.

The machine is very noisy on spin cycle and now it's starting to make a loud clicking noise. I think it's the bearing but I'm not sure. Any pointers?

Called Hotpoint to carryout the repair. The Engineer stripped the machine down from the front and replaced the whole drum. They don't waste time stripping the drum to get to the bearings. The whole job took 30mins to complete.

As mentioned by others in the forum, if your machine is under 5 years old, then you just pay for call out & labour - ÂŁ89.98. However, they do a scheme which cover parts and costs ÂŁ149.

Thanks for the advice. When I manually spin the drum, I get a knocking / clicking noise on every 1-1/2 revoultions. The machine was very noisy initally, but never made this knocking. However, when I moved the machine to clean the area behind it started to make this knocking sound ever since. Not sure what I've disturbed to result this sound.
