There could be a screw on each bottom coner of the front panel. If not, take a putty knife (1 1/2" or 2"wide) Slide it between the lid and the front panel. You should fill a clip about 4" or 5" from corner. Pull putty knife out and then use it to push into each clip while pulling slightly on the front panel. Front will come off a corner at a time. From here you will be able to access everything.
You are most likely going to find that the plastic outer tub is cracked and all four round rubber straps located at the top of the tub broken. If so, you will be better off to replace machine because of the cost of a new outer tub and the labor required to replace it. If you chose to replace tub, you will need a tub wrench. The last one I bought was $68.00 15 years ago.
