has anyone got any ideas on how to remove the fridge from it's housing?

the cabinet has worked loose and i want to fix it back to the wall. i can see no fixings on the outside so i think that they must be hidden inside. i would rather make a good job of it and i would rather not screw a bracket on the outside, if i have to, behind the cushons.

it's an electrolux 2260 in an abbey gts212 1991 fridge is on the left as you walk in.

It will be held in by two long screws on each side at the front. these screw through the casing/units on each side of the fridge.

Also at the back, outside, there is a metal chimney exhaust that must be unscrewed (4 screws) and removed and then the connection piece between that metal plate and the fridge chimney removed.

There will also be sheets of metal top and bottom that seal the back of the fridge from the front to stop any gas from entering the van interior.

For yourself, I would simply be looking to tighten up the 4 long screws on either side of the front.
