Front Top Cover Removal - Norcold N412

[Jim and Frances]

I have a malfunctioning optical display board (the little board that holds the front displays and buttons).  This is not to be confused with the optical control board (located at the top of the unit).

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to remove the front cover housing.  I have used a borescope on the two holes located on the underside of the panel and it shows a phillips head screw, but even with those out, I can't remove the panel.  Oliver Service has told me I have to remove the whole frig to remove the wiring harness that runs between the optical display and control boards.  I am hoping they are wrong - and of course I am stubborn!  🤪

I am bumfuzzled!!  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I would follow Oliver Service advice, naturally they have installed hundreds of these units. I have never had a reason to doubt their expert recommendations.

I hope you get it sorted out.
