The gasket is glued in place. Be gentle removing it, and you can reuse it. This will allow you to remove the baffle plate to the see more screws that will separate the top from the bottom. From here, you will then see 4 screws in the very top. This will allow you to access the switch where the cord ends. Call us if you need further help.
