Hoover w/machine 1300 Model SE 230-01

Machine leaking, only 12 months old but suspect door seal, how does this come off?
Can the front panel on the machine come out to see if there are any other hoses leaking?

I assume it is out of guarantee even though only 12 months old !
The first point of access for most UK washing machine in through the top i.e. the top comes off. You usually find there are screws at the rear of the machine (just under the top surface) fixing the top to the back plate. Take the screws out and you will probably have to slide the top forward to release the front of the top from some 'slide in' brackets, then it lifts off. This should give you enough access to determine where the leak is.
N.B. The back plates usually come off (only if you really need/want to), the front and side panels are usually a single piece of pressed metal.

I has this with my old hoover before I smashed it up

Is the glass door very clean and not a slight scale build up preventing a tight seal?
