Cheers thanks for that, I've just sucessfully removed my cupboard door. It was a great help knowing that it has to come off sideways. You do need to peer through the gap also to see the screws that hold the fridge door to the cupboard door and once the screws are free from the cupboard door we banged the cupboard door sideways to free it, but it does take some force - be careful. We found all this easier by removing the actual fridge door from the fridge and this takes the cupboard door with it, it makes it easier to peer through the gaps. Thanks again you saved us loads of time.

I've done this once before- but so long ago I can't quite recall the method. If you squint a look in the gap between fridge door and fascia, you'll see the panel catches have sideways slots in them. They rely on friction to keep the panel in its allotted place normally, but a firm push sideways will probably remove the fascia. Most kitchens have adjacent units with doors which will prevent this, so you'll have to remove the offending unit door before sliding the fridge fascia sideways successfully.
