I have a fridge that has spilled it guts,

yellow around boiler.
I have removed the screws on inside top and bottom and the screws in bottom rails (were not tightened) behind exterior access; unit won't move;
anyone had experience removing fridge from a tiffin, do they glue the unit also

, or run screws up from electrical panel below

Typically, you will need to remove the top and bottom trim on the front of the unit. Under the trim there will be 4 screws attaching the unit to the cabinet. On the outside, there will typically be two screws securing the rear of the unit to the plywood floor under it.

Now this is typical and subject to change without notice.

As Ken said, the top & bottom screws in the house and usually 2 screws in the rear accessed through the outside panel. Any other attachment would be a user/owner modification. They stick and often you have to shove from the rear with "authority" to get them to move.

The fridge does, indeed, have a mastic seal completely around the cabinet flange as well as a dope at the bottom of the opening. You will have to slip-cut this seal before it will attempt to move. Be sure, as mentioned above, that you've found all the screws inside and out. The fit is very tight with no more than 3/16" at the sides.

It's a 2-man job to remove; use some cribbing at matching height as the opening so as to not damage the horizontal rail at the bottom. It's particleboard and very easy to damage.
