Once the cover is off, gently allow it to dangle on the side of the fan. Do not pull or rearrange the wiring that is connecting the control panel to the main motor fan.
Remove The Bottom Cover Of The Main Control Panel
Below the main control panel, you will notice another cover with five screws around the edges of the surface. Remove these screws with the Phillips screwdriver.
