Detaching heater unit from its mounting

"YOUR" wall mounted panel heater"?

We are Fixya dot com, we don't have (or sell) wall mounted panel heaters. We are not who you think we are.

They are all the same though, remove the front cover and remove the mounting screws, OR, you lift it off the hooks at the back. Make and Model are useful in such questions.

Question edited for clarity 'panal', and 'heather' corrected. Category moved from Television to Wall Heaters.

HELLO Richard Gray...

Unless you are willing to risk a MAJOR rewire... Power down
connected heating/air-conditioning... (complete)

Take lots of notes & pictures... and "TAG" each wire
removed... I would urge you to remove the wall mounting
put your device in a paper sack... and "DECORATE"
around it...

(just my opinion)

Its not as complicated as it looks.first of all the front and only part of the center console you need to move simply pops out with two snap in connections at the top and to mounting screws in the back lower bottom...keep in mind moving this part of center console is only for the removal and installation of heater unit...Now for the radio is also quite simple.once you have the heater unit consolek removed,the dash component and vent cover needs to be removed.If you open both car doors @ look
on both sides of your dashboards,theres two covers.remove them..on passenger is a mounting screw for the dash cover.once removed,cover has several snap in connections that will detach it from location...be careful when doig so...now you will see full radio and its mounting bolts...there u have it..hope it helps...

Wall mounted wine racks are the ones who can be place on the wall and they can be made out of different materials. The wall mounted wine racks are usually used for decoration and not for wine storage.

Have the air conditioning system discharged at a dealer service department or auto AC repair facility. Drain the cooling system by removing the plugs under the radiator and then the engine block, draining the coolant into a clean container. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2

Disconnect the heater hoses at the engine compartment's right side at the firewall by sliding the clamps away, then plug or tape shut all the openings. Disconnect the accumulator and refrigerant lines to the AC accumulator and mounting bracket, then detach the accumulator and its mounting bracket from the firewall.

3

Remove the instrument panel from inside the truck. With the front wheels turned forward and the steering column locked, remove all trim and kick panels along the door frames. Then lower the steering column and remove its covers and the instrument cluster, glove box, cup holders, all electrical connectors and panel fasteners. Lift the panel out through the front door.

4

Remove the Powertrain Control Module from the engine. Carefully disconnect the three to four electrical connectors on the module, then remove the module's mounting bolts.

5

Disconnect the two nuts on the studs mounting the heater unit in the engine compartment. Disconnect the electrical connector to the blower motor resistor from the interior of the truck along with the connector and vacuum hoses from the heater unit. Remove the mounting nuts and bolt to the unit from the interior and remove the heater unit.

6

Remove the two retaining screws on the heater core, located at the top of the two lines on the core that form a triangle. Pinch the release tabs on the upper corners of the heater core and lift the core from its housing

sincerely. God bless you

Hi, if you can't find the pilot shut off, all wall heaters have a gas line that supplies gas to it, the main line at the unit. There should also be a gas flex line going to it. It will have a valve on it to shut gas down to the unit for the summer. This will solve your problem. You will have to look for it, as it may be hidden from site for looks and decoration. You will find it.

Please be kind when rating. Thank you, I know you will.

I just removed our Sharp R-1420B microwave. Unplug the microwave. Start by removing the two bolts from the top cabinet (one left and one right). Remove the decorative screws (one left and one right) from the bottom support bracket. I used a plastic bucket sitting on the range as support under the microwave (you may need a couple different sizes). Once the bucket is in place, pull down on the attachment brackets where the decorative bolts were located near the bottom. I used a vise grip to attach and pull them down, and they came down fairly easy. By doing this, the top of the microwave should become detached from the wall. Once you allow the microwave to tilt down far enough (you may need to move the bucket or use a shorter one), you should be able to lift the bottom of the unit off the lower support bracket. Now you can just pull it out from the wall.

I just removed mine this morning and was having the same problem, though mine did have the screws above going into the unit. You may have to pop the front vent cover off to locate the screws going to the wall bracket, if so remove those. Also,there are 2 tabs on the bottom of the wall bracket that the back bottom edge of the microwave slip into, keeping the microwave from being pulled forward. Tilt the microwave slightly forward and push the bottom back edge of the microwave up to clear the tabs. Hope this helps.
