When the kitchen was built it's likely they would have slid the unit in there and fixed it in place. Can you find those fixings, unscrew them and slide the whole thing out?
Possibly screwed through under the hinges of the cupboard next to it or just from the inside.
I guess it could have been the first thing in and the walls/cupboards are at a slight angle keeping it in place.
If you can cut the dowels with a multi tool and slide the panel out there's not much downside to using angle brackets unless they snag the new fridge/freezer.

Cheers for the suggestions - I hadn't even thought to slide it out.
It looks as though it was been screwed through (with pretty bog standard wood screws), from the cupboard on the left, prior to that cupboard being fitted - As in , there's no way to access the screw head without removing the cupboard, and no way to cut the screws either, because of access.
Looks like I'm trying to cut the dowels and hoping to bodge any snags away.
We're replacing out fridge / freezer - it's a ballache, because cost, but a blessing, because I can drill a hole through the wall to run a cable from the consumer unit to the outside wall.
I have a problem with taking the units down though - as in I have no idea what to do
The top and bottom are held in by metal dowels. I can release these, but there is no wriggle room to take them out, and without them removed, I can't remove the side panel.
Given that out kitchen only has another ~2 years before we redo it, is it worth just cutting through the dowels, and using angle brackets when I put it back together?
