I need to get access to the inside of the freezer door on my Hotpoint refrigerator. I removed the magnetic strip but cannot see any screws to remove the inner plastic door panel. I need to replace the broken water line inside the door. Any clues? Thanks

I eventually tried inserting a butter knife into the gap between the panel and the door proper and, very slowly, peeling away the panel. It seemed like a really sloppy way to do it (lots of scary cracking of the styrofoam inside), but it worked; and, when it was over, I saw that there was really no other way to have done it (there were no hidden screws or clips anywhere).
A lousy design, if you ask me -- I would have made the panel easily removable with a couple of screws -- but we have to work with what manufacturers give us.
Good luck. Thanks a lot for the reply - I agree that it seems like a poor design. I wonder if GE/Hotpoint is any different??
