I had the same problem with the rear one a few years ago and a repairman replaced the potentiometer. I wish to do the same now (without the repairman). Any advice on how to access the area and safely replace it? Thank you.

If you need the correct part number for the potentiometer, talk to the APP team. Gene. File Attachment(s): Removing the control panel PRSG - PRSE.doc (136kb) downloaded 47 time(s).

Unfortunately I do not have such software to convert it in PDF. Gene.
