I need to do this but dread taking it all apart.  

Really should look at it when I have the fridge out.

The one in the cabinet and mic don't work waiting for handy to post a video of how to disassemble the cabinet to get it out.maybe I'll get a video camera and a drill grab a coffee and take it apart

Ouch!  I removed my coffee maker in favor of storage.  Course I have yet to build a cabinet for the space.  I ended up using a hot knife to take the coffee maker out.  It was a one way trip.  I have a feeling you'd have to remove the shelf above  the Micro and Coffee maker to access them.  Not "ease access"

Handys blank switch is my blender. Stodge absolutely you should do it while the fridge is out as thats the time to un zip tie all of those wires to easily get the panel out. Renee funny story, I see you have that port window "plug" in as that port has no curtain. I didn't have one of those plugs until now...found it behind the panel when I opened it up!

Must of been enough room to slide down behind the shelf?

It was off to the far left where there is some empty space. No it didn't fall down, had to have been put there at some point

Finally got it all done. Really happy with how it came out. First pic is that ground wire redone, was two loose green wires to one yellow connection, now separate yellow connectors to one terminal screw. As you can see, plenty of room for the larger led bulb. All 19 are done. Here are pics of the panel lights with the door open and closed. Like with Handys pic the pics make the lights look a lot brighter than they are, there really is not much difference from before but the pics make them look brighter. Anyway another project done. Also re zip ties all of the wires behind the fridge and reinstalled the fridge.
