It was listed on searspartsdirect.com in parts diagram?  That’s where I grabbed it from anyway.

I can't say for sure, but I've run into a couple of front-load GE's (washers, but might be similar) that had me stumped for disassembly for a while. No screws on the back of the top panel. There's a hidden screw (on these, anyway) behind the cycle knob, and a couple others in the dispenser tray (again, these were washers, not sure for dryers). Once all the screws were out, I think the console lifted straight up off clips, then the top panel screws were along the front edge behind the console.

I can't find any other minii-manuals for that model that give any help on disassembly. :(
