How do you take the back off a Kenmore Elite dryer>

Dryer Repair

I am frustrated. I know that I need to take the back off of my Kenmore Elite dryer. I have taken all of the screws out of the back but cannot get the back plate off. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I need to get in to check why I have no heat in the dryer.

Your help is apperciated!

You cannot get anywhere messing with the back. Everything is accessed from the front on this dryer:
