I have an LG WM2487HWM front-load HE washer that is four and one-half years old. It has begun leaking, apparently from around the hot water solenoid. To access that part I need to remove the top but the way to do that is not obvious. So I have two question: 1) How do I remove the top? 2) Where can I get a repair guide?

You may have to join the site but it is free.
That is the same diagram as on other websites. What I need to know is how to remove the top (or any other covers) so I can access the hot water solenoid.
Did you download the manual?
Page 29 shows how to remove the lid.
Thanks. That appears to provide the needed information.
