take some pictures todaybecause what we are talking about is standard on most walk in freezer doors its just a metal track that the gasket sits on

Outer channel snaps over inner channel. Gently pry up one side with a screwdriver and you can walk it off.

This is what I consider "standard." I haven't worked on your specific brand...

Right on the money that is what I consider standard also. I use a metal putty knife to gently pry one end loose from top to bottom. Be very careful though the metal bends really easy. I than use metal tape to hold the heater down and carefully clip the cover back on. I use a plastic dead blow hammer and gently tap the track back on. Usually a heater replacement takes me about two to three hours

What is "the standard heater cover" ? <g>

And how do you get it off / open?

No pics yet - I meant to take my ipad but cleverly forgot to.

Hartford Duracool - door frame heater replacement procedure?

Hartford Duracool - OW355-2 (or something like that <g>)

How does the Duracool door frame come apart to replace the heater wire?

Does that stainless strip for the gasket seal-surface come off first?

How exactly to I get the plastic jam away from the wall panel?

And I mean in such a way that I can re-install it later. <g>
