AppliancePro has the whole front for $80, but I would like to just replace the plastic or repair it. Any suggestions? Does the front panel come off easily?

This is the correct part: Part Details - GE Front air duct assembly, part number: AP3186270 I will still have to remove the front panel. Do I need a special tool, or there clips? Steve

Open the door and remove the screws holding the top panel from the door frame. Lift the top panel and remove the screw on each side holding the front panel. Remove the front panel. Gene.
