On my old Maytag Neptune you take off the door. Then take off the reversible door tabs on the other side. That allows you to pull the front panel from the top and lift off the bottom. That gives access to the blower heat below and top locking screws and hold down tabs. Make sure you are unplugged before working on it.
How old we talking? What model? Mine opens on a bottom panel in the front.
Testimonial: "There are no screws on the front or side of the unit that would help me take the front panel off the frame."
The model number is MEDC500VW0.
Here you'll do d info on repairs and the manual.complete with diagrams. Happy repairs.

You have a choice for which side front door should be on this model. There are 4 screws on front door. Take all 4 screws and pull down the front panel. You will see two metal parts each side which holds top panel. Remove two screws and metal parts. Now you can push up the top panel.

Catriver was right on the mark. Took a little bit of doing but I was able to fix the problem myself within 30 mins, and saved some money. Many thanks. I'd like to expand Catriver's solution a bit.
I found a layer of lint on the inside bottom of my dryer. With the face off of the dryer, it proved to be a good time to vacuum the lint out and reduce the potential of fire.

Your console has a retaining clip under the front corner on each side. You simply insert a putty knife under the console at the corner and push straight back, while pushing the console back with your other hand. The clip will release and the console will pop up. You can use the following link for reference (step 2 b.):

Your washer has the Maytag name, but is manufactured by Whirlpool and has Whirlpool parts, so these steps are for your washer. The link I provided explains how to access and remove the drive motor. If you are having problems with agitation and spin, you may have bad motor coupling. The next explains how to replace one:

The steps are almost identical and the part number (if needed) is included.
You can view an excellent exploded view diagram of your washer at appliancepartspros.com. Section 4 shoes the console and retaining clips (item 3) that I'm talking about.
If your washer fills, then stops, or agitates then stops just before the rinse cycle, this problem is attributed to a lid switch malfunction.
I'm adding all these remarks, because you never stated what symptoms you were experiencing. If you have questions, please let me know. I hope you find this information helpful.

Removal of the front panel requires the removal of the top cover and the console. Disconnect power to the dryer prior to servicing to avoid the risk of electric shock.
Remove the 2 screws attaching the top cover to the rear of the dryer then slide it rearward to clear the screw head from the top cover flange and lift the cover off the dryer cabinet.
Remove the screws securing the heater PCB board and disconnect the black and white wiring harness connectors from the board.
Remove the four screws attaching the console to the washer cabinet and rotate the console down to remove it from the dryer.
Remove the four screws attaching the top of the front panel to the cabinet and the two screws at the bottom of the door opening.
Pull the front panel forward and disconnect the interior light wiring harness then lift the front panel off the tabs across the bottom and move it away from the dryer.
Reinstall the front panel, the console, and the top cover in reverse of the removal steps.
