Yes they can. You will have to open the door and pop of the side strip
They have Contact paper dry-erase rolls you can just stick over the top. I did that inside my cabinet to keep a running grocery list
I saw a renovation video once where they took them off. It was all sped up but they had the door open and the panel slide off towards the side. That’s not a lot of details but hopefully it points you in the right direction.
Have you thought about painting it? They have the chalk board paint. Just not sure how well it would adhere to that type of surface.
I took these off and painted them with chalkboard paint. It was some time ago but I believe I removed the two screws on the top of the panel and then the panel slid up and out. Good luck.
I just put a dry-erase sheet right on over my frig door. I did that about 6 years ago – and it’s still there. No peeling, or anything.
We popped ours out and replaced with sheet metal covered in chalkboard contact paper. We wanted it to be magnetic and writable! It works, though the chalk leaves ghost images it doesn’t really bother us. It does feel like you’re gonna break the plastic frame popping out off, I popped off the bottom one on the freezer and the top one on the fridge to slide it out. Good luck!
