You must slide it towards the front, not the back.

    I had the same issue. After removing the set screws holding the top in place the top would not budge. My solution, like fixing an old TV's reception, get a thick towel out, and hit the top around all 4 edges with a hammer. Mine was stuck, hitting it with a hammer jarred it loose to slide it straight back using the plastic tabs on the back. Worked for me, YMMV. Good luck

SOURCE: How do I remove the top of my LG WM2496HSM washer?

Code will not tell which is faulty. To remove top: after removing three phillips head screws (leaving the L shaped part attached to the top) slide the top back about one and a half inches and lift it straight up.

Does anyone know how to remove the top cover of the LG wm-2277 hw after the screws are removed from the back ? Have a water leak up toward the top of machine but cannot reach without removing the top ....

Disconnect the LG front load washer power cord from the wall outlet. Turn off the water supply to the washer at the water spigots coming from the wall.

Pull the washer 3 feet away from the wall, and disconnect the water supply hoses from the water inlet valve ports on the back of the washer. You may need a pair of channel lock pliers to loosen the hose connections.

Remove the screws securing the back of the top panel to the back of the washer with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Depending upon your model, you will have either two or four screws to remove.

Lift the back of the top panel up, and slide the top panel toward the rear wall, which will unhook the top panel from the clips securing the panel in the front of the washer. Lift the top panel off the washer and out of your working area.

How do you remove the top

The top panel of the washer (model WM2277h) slides off towards the back of the washer. There are two white tabs on the back of the top panel. Each tab has two screws securing the tab to the top panel and the lower panel. Remove the lower screws from each tab and slide the top panel off by pushing it towards the back of the washer. Do not try to pry the top panel off due to damage to the top panel...

LG front load washer is leaking a lot of water from the soap dispencer

Remove dispenser drawer by pulling out to it's stop, then pressing in tab at back to allow you to pull it free from machine. Look for a build up of fabric softener in the filler area. If that is clean, remove washer top by taking screws of out back side and sliding top back 2 inches and lifting it off. Remove rubber connector from dispenser area to top of tub and check for obstructions. (mouse nest?)

How to remove top of lg wm2277h washing machine to repair soap drawer

There are two philip-head screws that have to be removed from the back of the unit. One of these screws is on the left side and the other is on the right side.

Once these two screws have been removed, you will want to push/slide the washer's top panel backwards (towards the back of the unit). It might be a little hard to move at first, but it will slide backwards with a little bit of force. Once the top has move back about 6" to 10", you can lift the top off of the unit.

The dispenser is on the left side.
