Refrigerators are held in place with six frame screws that are covered with tan caps around the frame of the door. Remove the caps to see what style of screw holds it. Remove those screws, then go outside to the access door and locate the two screws at the frame base corners and remove them.
Turn off the LPG and disconnect the line. Look for the two 12 volt wires to the back, disconnect them and protect them so they don't short out. Now your ready to tackle the removal. You might find silicone around the inside frame, cut that out and get ready to pull it out of the wall.
It would help to have someone push from the outside.
Before you get too far measure your entry door opening. Your old refer is 23 11/16 wide. Hope your entry door is wider. Also its time to measure your new refer, you may need to do some frameing work.
Good luck get some help..you may need it. Their heavy.
