If it doesn't attach from the other (back) side, probably need to drill out any bungs around the perimeter to find screw heads. I can't imagine it's "glued" on but ya never know.

If you sand it lightly by hand the bungs will show up if there are any. You'll have to drill them out then unscrew as mentioned.
If you don't see any bungs, then maybe it is glued. You can use a thin putty knife to go in from the side and cut the sealant.

I'm assuming that is the vent for the fridge. You may have to pull the fridge out and see if it is screwed from the back.
