I'm going to send you a link of a discussion of the same problem you're having. Go down the page to spkaro's post. Apparantly, they complained and Sear's is going to make it right. Other's are suing. This is a BIG problem with that appliance, and you can probably get it fixed for free. As for the new cover, it's always hard to tell about how something's assembled, until you get it apart. Look on the new cover for hints...like recessed edges that would hold clips, etc. I couldn't find any explanation of how to get it off, but I'm like you- don't force it and create a bigger problem. If you call Sear's Appliance Center, they may be understanding enough to tell you how to get it apart, or hopefully send someone out to do it, free gratis. I'm sure they've delt with this problem before, and know what's going on.
Here's the web blog:

Good luck, and hope this helps!
You're most welcome, and hope they make it right by you- I clearly think you have some legal grounds concerning the safety of this issue.

Hello,
To disassemble the display, you follow the process below, it is as if you are removing the timer.
Take care
Sorry, my mistake. Did not actually get the question until you stated it now.
Since you have a replacement case, take a closer look at the control panel that is in it.
Then you look at the similarities and how it is placed in the fridge, so you will be able to know how to fix the new case in it.
Take care

My problem has nothing to do with the defrost timer. My Kenmore 795.77304600 control panel is inside the refrigerator at the top and contains the temperature controls for the refrig and the freezer. I bought a new case and am trying to reinstall the lights, reflector, and electronics sub assembly into the new case. The electronics subassembly is on the inside of the case at the front but it attaches somehow to the actual panel on the front (outside) of the case. I can't see how the subassembly is attached to the case, or the front panel and don't know how to get it out. I searched your parts inventory for this refrig and saw the case (which you say is no longer available) but still don't know how to uninstall the electronics subassembly so I can move it to the new case. I do see three small holes (and three square windows) in the front of the new case but am still at a loss as to how to fix this.
WOW! This information was more than I asked about and put me on to what is apparently a major problem with this appliance. Many thanks for the great advice
