the screw on the left side and on the right side of the
panel, inside the unit. Pull the front panel forward from
the topside by approximately 2” inches. There are 3
additional screws located underneath the front face but

accessible in your application, you can remove them to
obtain the most clearance for the repair. If they are not ac-
cessible, you can still proceed with them attached.

wire in place then gently pulling the wires out of the
terminal block - noting their original locations.
Remove the 2 screws holding the icker motor to the 4.
mounting bracket. Gently pull the motor away from the
