I'm trying to replace the USB port in the dinette area that is on the same wall as the fridge. Looking at the replacement part that was sent by GD, it seems like its held on the wall with just the 2 screws. However, I cannot seem to get the old port off the wall with the screws out. Am I missing something? I dont want to pull on it too hard and risk cracking the wood panel. Does anyone know if it could be a different part and secured with something else on the back and if so, how can I get at that to get it off the wall? Thanks!

The two screws should be the only thing holding it in place. How odd that it's tough to remove. I'm wondering if the hole in the wall is just so tight that friction is keeping it in place. BTW, I replaced mine (another configuration) a couple of times. Come to find out, if I plugged in two phones at the same time, it would draw too much current and pop the internal fuse.

Thanks Jim. Its almost like it's glued in as well. As if there is a blob of it behind the main part on the back side. I can pull it and shift it around a bit but I really don't want to risk cracking the wood panel. I think that's what happened to ours. We had 2 things charging at the same time and it burned it out.Brian and Mercedes

It might be that the wiring has gotten pulled down the wall and that is holding it in place. You may need to see if you can find where the wiring exits the wall to see if there is any play in the wire that you can free up to assist in gaining clearance.Joseph
