Removing the fridge from your RV/Travel Trailer is easier than you'd think! This guide relates specifically to a 6 cu.ft Dometic fridge in a Rockwood Mini Lite 2109S. Other models may have connections in slightly different places.
- Ensure your refrigerator is empty and all electrical hookups are disconnected from your RV
- Turn off your propane
gas tanks and ignite the stove-top to burn off any residual gas left
in the pipes
- Open the vent cover at the back of the fridge, outside the RV, by turning the 2 plastic screws to the left, then pulling the cover down and out
- Unplug the
refrigerator power from the outlet on the left side
- Remove the 2 pairs of wires from the front of the white terminal block and wrap their ends in electrical tape for safety
- Undo the nut
connecting the propane line with a
wrench. If the nut is too stiff to turn, spray it first with WD40 - Undo the 2
screws on the metal brackets at each side of the fridge base
-
Go inside your
RV and remove the top front panel by inserting a screwdriver to
release the 2 small clips, then disconnect the wire at the
back of the panel
- Undo the 2 screws behind the top panel and the 2 screws at the front base of the refrigerator
-
Carefully
pull out the fridge (preferably with the help of a friend).
You may need to push from behind to start with. If you have a raised fridge it is
helpful to slide it onto a sturdy box, rather than down onto
the floor
