Does anyone know if the faceplate on the heater control unit can be removed for refinishing? Not the slim rectangular trim but the face that surrounds the window and buttons

 

The "horseshoe" if so yes

 

Found answer !! For anyone interested check out www.modulemaster.com under LCD repair instructions. Shows how to remove unit and more to the point, how to remove faceplate around LCD and buttons. This is the trim piece I was asking about. They are selling an inexpensive repair kit.

 

Thanks to the 986forum.com :-)

 

thats a fantastic kit! precise instructions and reasonable price. thanx for finding this nugget!

 

Sure thing, always happy to share a resource. I'm going to look into chaging the color from orange to ..?... If it is just the gel that is shown it would be very easy. Thinking white or red for display. Have seen other places that require soldering new lamps in so if this is that easy I'd go this route.

 

was gonna say "yes" since I had mine painted before ... but seems you beat me to the punch ...
