Checkout part #43 on the cabinet section of the following link. Also notice part #14 on the top console. I can't remember if it has to be removed also. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/WGD8800YC0/1198/0151200.html?searchType=modelSearch&q=WGD8800YC0&searchTerm=WGD8800YC0

I didn't find a service manual 

Not sure what problem you are having but there is a service bulletin for no heat.

There are spring clips in the front approximately where the lid turns in toward the door, use your putty knife to press one side tab back, ( but don't lift it too far or it will make the other side impossible to release) then poke a flat tip screw driver into the released side seam gap you made to keep it from popping back together, then repeat on the other side's clip... they are spaced symmetrically.
