Haven't had your exact problem, but I did have a problem with the electric cord that runs the reeler, it got caught up in the cord rolling up and did a number on the switch (momentary single pole) Had hard time finding right switch, finally located at BCS. It appears that when cage for winder was installed that someone just tapped the excess wires to something with electrical tape. Needless to say that gave way at some point and thus my issue. Was finally able get the excess cabling tied up and using a screw tie screwed it to a piece of wood in the cabinet.
I know this doesn't address your problem, but tho't a heads up on the excess cable might be helpful.
I sure couldn't see how to get the winder in it's frame out either. Ended up working all thru the small hole in the door. Maybe BCS in Bend can tell you how to get at it.
