GTD65EB - if this was your actual model number line, which you seemed to be missing, you need to take off the shoulder 1/4 screw in the back on the control panel, then remove the control panel pushing away fromy you, then your remove the two philips screws located under the control panel, open the dryer door, then remove the two philips under the lid, then move the lid back and then remove the two shoulder philips screws holding on the front of the unit. then pull the front of the dryer towards you, then remove the dryer front by pulling up, disconect the door switch wire, and the lamp wire on the top if yours has a door lamp. make sure its unplugged before attempting, if you have issues call GE appliance service for repairs.

Here's the trick: The Spacemaker dryer is the same as many other GE dryers but is upside down!

1. Unplug the dryer.
2. Flip the dryer upside down so the white panel is now on top and the unfinished steel panel is on the bottom.
3. Remove the 2 screws that connect the bottom, white panel from the back and lift up to remove.
4. Pull off the Settings and Fabric knobs on the front of the dryer. Take off the front control panel (remove the 2 screws).
5. Remove the 2 screws that attach the front panel (located behind the control panel you just removed). Hold the dryer drum by the top edge and pull the front panel away (note that the panel will be hooked to the rest of the dryer at the bottom corners). DO NOT PULL AWAY ENTIRELY!
6. Disconnect the wiring that is attached to the front panel (these come apart easily by hand but you might want to mark the wiring so you know where to connect it when reassembling).

Disconnect power to machine. Remove bottom front panel by removing one screw from each lower corner of panel. Have a few old towels ready to catch water, and remove clamp at pump inlet. Fish out all the coins or other objects from the rubber boot pump inlet. Reassemble and test with the panel off first. If all OK and no leaks, replace panel.

Lift the control panel aside.
Pull the top lid forward to remove it.
Reach inside the right and left front corners to remove the screws holding the front panel to the cabinet.

Your model may or may not have 2 screws holding the top lid down located inside the door opening. Open the door,get down on your knees and look up at the door opening for 2 screws.

That may not be possible; many units have connected front and sides that are removed as one piece by removing hardware in the back and inside the washer.

Use a putty knife and press in the panel clips located on the top left and right sides where the front panel meets the top lid. They are about 3 inches in from each side.Press on the clips while pulling forward on the front panel.
