This actually varies by oven. Some are poorly designed and hard to service. My current Maytag, for example. Not one of the panels can simply be removed. You have to remove all sorts of bolted on crap before you can get to the panels.

I was actually pretty impressed at how hard it was to service my oven. To take the side panels off you have to remove like 4 things on each side. But to remove each of those 4 things, you have to remove another 4 things. Each component I looked at was set up in a similar way. It's like an Escher staircase. But a complicated one.

Anyway, I decided the squeaky springs pulling up the door are funny and not super annoying.
