Replacing the fan in the above standalone oven.
You would think Creda would have a “4 screw removable panel” around the fan to ease its removal… oh no.
– The rear panel is retained under the side panels AND the hob panel.
– Thus far I have removed the side screws & top hob screws.
– The side panels are not sliding off at the top because they slide under the hob panel, which I am wary of lifting further without first checking.Anything else to do or know about to get the rear panel off?
Already have the part, just wary on a 14yr old cooker (yes cooker isolated, RCBO padlocked off). Built-in cookers are way easier to work on (and lighter too).Thanks.

First problem fixed.
The hob & sides only need be lifted 0.25″ to lift the back panel off.New problem.
The old fan fits through a shaft-sized hole in the oven chassis, and will obviously not slide off with the circlip & washer attached to it.
You have to use circlip pliers to remove the circlip & washer, then slide it out of the oven.Hilariously the new fan employs a circlip and washer, only the washer is bizarrely has been press fitted and will require a puller or cutter to get it off.
It makes me think the latter ovens have a large hole – clearance for the washer/circlip assembly rather than just the shaft as mine has.
I have never seen so much dust in an appliance, not even multi-decade old TVs. Cleaned the top fan.
Now to cut that washer off.
Bagging & taping the rest so no filings get near it. My puller is too large for such a tiny item.
