Taking the front off the an RM212 fridge door

Post by AnnyaSB »

Hi there folks. After over 30minutes searching the forum I can't find anything on this subject so I am here to ask advice. Our RM212 fridge door has some very scruffy looking silver paper inserted in the front door behind the clear panel. We'd like to remove this and replace it with something a bit more tidy, but I can't work out how to get the clear insert off to remove said scruffy paper.

Any help appreciated :?:

This is an extract from an old RM122 but may be relevant. Looks like the fridge has to come out.

"4. CHANGING DOOR HINGES TO OPPOSITE SIDE
The refrigerator is manufactured with the door hinged on the right hand side; however, it can be changed
to left hand opening if required.
Gently place the refrigerator on its back (taking care not to damage the burner assembly), pull off the pas
control knob, then remove the lower ventilator-by taking out the screws from each end.
Remove upper hinge blade and travel catch blade, from top of cabinet. Fit the upper hinge blade and travel
catch blade to their new positions on the top of the cabinet and transfer the lower hinge blade to the
opposite side. Refit the ventilator by means of the screws, then push the gas control knob onto its spindle
so that the flat on the spindle engages the flat in the recess of the knob.
5. CHANGING OUTER DOOR PANELIf required, the outer door panel can be removed and replaced by one of a different material or colour to
match other fitments. It can be of rust proof metal or plastic laminate.
To do this lay the refrigerator on Its back, and remove the bottom section of the door frame held by 3
screws. The existing panel can then be slid out and a new panel slid in and the bottom section refitted to
ruin the new panel.
The replacement panel should be from 0.5 mm to 3 mm thick, and 350 mm wide x 485 mm high.
