Hotpoint FDL570 on/off button stuck

[digital]

Looks like someone has given the on/off button an extra hard press and it’s gone behind the front plate/bezel in which it normally resides.

I’ve tried manouevering it with my finger but it doesn’t want to move back across the hole and pop out again. The LEDs next to it also seem to be further back than I remember.

I’ve taken out the smaller 6 screws that go through the top of the flange on the stainless steel door inner but the bezel holding the button, settings knob and various LEDs doesn’t come away. What else do I need to do to get at the back of the bezel and re-position the button?

TIA

Take the door outer panel off first, then the control panel. Remove the pcb, clean and refit the buttons, then make sure the pcb is snapped fully home on its clips.

Thanks, worked fine. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to remove all the screws and end up with all sorts of bits falling out!
