I have a year old GE clothes dryer. With my old dryer, I just put a screw driver between the top and front to push in the clamps (or whatever they are called) to lift the top of the dryer. I want to remove the front of the dryer to vaccuum out the lint buildup. I cannot push the clamps in to loosen the top. Any ideas?
Lifting top of GE clothes dryer

I fixed a dryer at work not long ago, I don't remember what make it was, it may have been a GE. I put the dryer on its side, then removed two screws at the bottom of the front panel and that allowed me to remove the front panel and access the inside.
I hope this works for you. Let us know.

We found the screws that loosen the top, took it off, decided taking the front off in our limited space was too complicated, and had a hard time putting the top back.
We do appreciate all the suggestions.
