Just got my ATC switch. Watch videos for replacement.
Went to machine.
Removed 2 sheet metal screws in back top.
Panel doesn't budge!
I have tried push, pulling lift & swearing - all to no avail.
One thread said there were three screws.
The only other screw on back near the top is a machine screw with a grounding wire attached. I don't think that's it and but I tried anyway.
No luck.
Help please.

Taking off the back panel should do it for you, see the exploded diagram here.

Another way to get at it is to slide a think putty knife under the control panel at the edges to release the clips that hold the control panel down. It will life up and back.

Thank you! The putty knife did the trick.
All set now.
