Beko DVC61 Door Catch - How to replace???

I'm having difficulty replacing the door catch (bottom) for my Beko DVC61 oven. I need to get behind the chassis on the front right hand-side but my endeavors have only resulted in removing the back, top and control panel. Ideally, I need to get either the side panel or the front panel off for access.

I'd be very grateful for any help anyone can give me.

Kind Regards,

Daniel

Just wanted to say thanks for the info, this has had me very puzzled!

I had this problem. The easiest thing to do is lay your oven on its side and remove the thin black panel underneath at the front. If you then bend out the base of the oven you can slide your hand up the side and easily hold your new catch whilst screwing it on.

Okay, I sorted it out.

For the benefit of anyone else trying to do this, there is a small black metal panel that runs along the bottom of the front of the oven. Tilt the oven onto its side and there are two screws that hold the black panel to the bottom (underside) panel. Unscrew them and remove the black panel, then you can pull back the underside panel a bit and get your hand in to reach the door catch.

Hope this helps someone out there in Internet Land.
