There are 2 Phillips head screws at the bottom corner of the front panel. Use a small stubby screwdriver to remove them (they come out at an angle). Once they're removed, lift the front panel 90 degrees and it will unlock the clips.
Remove the rubber bleach dispenser hose. Remove the 2 screws underneath top panel located at both corners. Tape the lid down to the top panel The top panel is hinged which allows access by lifting it up like the hood of a car. Advance the timer to fill and identify where the leak is coming from (there are several possibilities for leaks in this area). From your description, it sounds like it's coming from the injector hose. www.seneca-river-trading.... |

Yep, Dan's on it.
Those clips you were pushing back are not what holds the top in place - they are instead what the front panel hangs from. So when you remove the two screws (lower front), then the bottom of the front panel will swing out, and those clips will unhook from the top, allowing the front panel to be removed entirely. Then the two large screws are what actually holds the top in place. |

The injector assembly, and the dial, were the only parts (other than the motor due to flood) I had to replace on the A207 my parents bought in '73. |

You can get a new rubber sleeve on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/401930231438QUE...
Soak the plastic injector nozzle/injector bracket overnight in a coffee cup of vinegar and use a toothbrush to clean them up. |
