Need to make sure how to remove this panel from my freezer door so I don't break it in the process. Do I just pry along the top side, or is there a better way? Thanks! The control panel is a WR55X10001. Pictures are attached.

It pops right off, get a putty knife or something thin and work it up through the bottom, you'll see once you look up at it from the bottom.

It came right out. I wanted to pull the board to check for a possible poor connection causing a persistant "dE" indication. That must have been the case since it is now working fine!! Thanks for the help.

If it comes back, your gonna want to check the defrost system, as that is usually why the DE pops up

You're probably right. When I unplugged the board I probably reset it and I expect the "dE" will show up again after 64 hours. If so I will attack the defrost circuit. Thanks

Your were right. The "dE" showed up again, so I traced the problem to the defrost heater and thermostat (yes both!). I just ordered a replacement (both come together w/harness)from you guys with expedited shipment. That should do it. Thanks again for you help.

Another question - What is the best way to tighten up on the freezer door handle. It is only slightly loose, but since the unit is "down for repair" I thought it would be a good time to do this also. Thanks

As a follow, replacing the defective defrost element corrected the problem. The defrost thermostat was not defective as I stated earlier (it is normally open at room temp). Thanks for the help
