I do not have the correct model number from the manufactures plate located on the washer, so I cannot look at the exploded parts view of you unit. I have indicated the procedure used on most top load washers which may work. You should use caution because it may not be the same style but you may be able to loosen or remove the screws from the back of the hinges to lift the top. If you can give me the correct model number I may be able to look at the diagram to give you more Ideas if this does not work.

You have clips on each side of top cabinet located in the front of the unit. If you pull the top forward and lift up you should be able free the top cover enabling you to lift the top back on its hinges. You may also use a non marring tool (wood or plastic wedge) to pry the top off while pulling the top forward. If it will not lift or you are afraid that you may damage the unit you can loosen or remove the two screws (part 34) for the hinge (part 32) in the back of the unit. You should be able to move the top forward and lift it above the retaining clips. You can replace the hinge screws so you can lift the top back on its hinge so it will not fall off when working on the unit.

Click on the link for a diagram of the parts.

Remove top lid on Miele novotronic 500 washing machine

Removing the top lid on a Miele Novotronic 500 washing machine will depend on the specific model of your machine. However, here are some general steps that may help:
  1. Unplug the machine from the power supply.
  2. Locate the release catch or lever on the top of the machine. This may be located on the front or back of the machine, depending on the model.
  3. Press or push the release catch or lever to release the top lid. It should then be able to be lifted off.
  4. If you don't find any visible lever or catch, please check the user manual of your washing machine, as some models may have a different mechanism to open the lid.
  5. If the lid is still not opening, it may be stuck due to a malfunction or an error. In this case, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or a professional technician for assistance.
It is important to be cautious when handling the top lid of the machine, as it can be heavy and fragile. It is also important to make sure the machine is not running or plugged in before attempting to open the top lid.

Smart drive9 the machine will not fill and it beeps

Power off the mains,close your wall faucet, unscrew the hoses at the top where the water comes to machine (need not open machine). Check to see if anything is blocking the mesh you see, clean out with old toothbrush, toothpick. Check you faucet, water pressure should be good, use bucket. Refit carefully without cross threading, check for leaks. If it still does not work, open top of machine to check wiring harness at inlet valve. No work? change inlet valve, you can do it yourself.

To open top, remove 2 or 3 screws behind top of machine, the top shd slide away an inch or so backwards, then lift off.

If we open the lid of the top load machine at the spin time?there will any problem for the machine

All top load machines have a braking system to stop them spinning when the lid is opened.. Most have a mechanical system which, although sometimes noisy, does not damage the machine.....However, direct drive machines like fisher & paykel may have an electronic system which converts the motor to a generator, which slows the spin....The generated power in this type of machine can cause damage and the lid should never be lifted while the machine is spinning.....Check with your brand's service agent... Good luck....Nomess
