My first post... Guess what, I'm in trouble!

While attempting to replace the element on our built in Zanussi ZBF865X fan oven, I accidentally let one of the wires that connect the element slip back through the little hole into the back of the oven.

I've tried to hook it and pull it back through but all to no avail.

So I reckon that I need to get the back panel off somehow so I can get the wire and then hook it all back into place.

The only problem is, I can't see which fixing screws I need to take out to remove the back panel. Do I have to take the whole unit out? What is the easiest way to get in to fish out the wire?

If you are going to change an element you need to take it out anyway. So you may as well bite the bullet.
 
Well it's all back in one piece and appears to be working - Pizzas for tea.

If anyone has the same issue, there are 13 screws that hold the unit in place; 4 at sides of bottom oven, 4 at sides of top oven and 5 at the top edge of the top oven).

Oh and there was only the the one panel (that covers the fan) to take off at the back to get to where the element wires feed through to the front.
