Replacing Cabin Sockets

[smeagol1]

Hi,
The 12v and 3 pin sockets have stopped working. My own fault as it was due to the washing up liquid holder leaking on to it!
It looks like I need to remove the sink/oven unit first. There looks to be 4 nuts to undo but on a really long bolts. I have checked the fuses and all fine, so going to have to brace myself for a day as a contortionist.
Anybody any thoughts ideas on specialist tools needed?
It's a 2019 version.

Are you talking about the sockets at the end of the kitchen unit? Can’t you carefully remove the covering trim and then unscrew the sockets to gently pull them out? Should be enough spare cable? First though, have you checked trip switch (mains) and fuse (12v).

Hi, I did try to tease the cover off but didn't over prise it. Now I know they can come off I'll put a bit more force behind it. I was a bit surprised I'd need to remove the sink... I just put it down to German over engineering!.
I'll have a go at the weekend and let you know. Thanks again, Stephen...

The ‘cosmetic’ cover will come off but is a tight push fit. Picture below should give you an idea.

Fantastic. The extra knowledge should steady the hand

Job done! Managed to clean all the washing up liquid gunk in the sockets and sanded the corrosion. A lot easier than removing the sink. The actual fault was down to a blown fuse which I did find before the clean up..... Doha!
Anyway, all working fine and dandy...so thanks again for your support.
