Loosen the rear panel

Some repairs only require you to loosen the rear panel from the plasma power supply. Other repairs require that you remove the rear panel from the plasma power supply. To completely remove the rear panel, refer to Remove the rear panel.

  1. Set the power switch to OFF (O), Disconnect the power cord from the power source, and disconnect the gas supply.
  2. Remove the plasma power supply cover and handle.
  3. Use a T15 TORX driver to remove the screw at the bottom center of the panel.
  4. Use a blade screwdriver to push in the 2 tabs at the bottom of the panel until the panel detaches from the base.

    Pull the rear panel slightly away from the unit.
