David,



If it is the original Dometic, two screws on the tracks in the back of the unit, unplug the power cord (mine did not have retainers as I recall), shut off the propane at the tank and then disconnect the propane line at the back of the fridge. Inside, there were a couple of screws under the trim pieces top and bottom and slide it out. It is not very heavy at all, just bulky, and I took the doors off first to have more clearance and even less weight. I used my motorcycle jack in the aisle in front of the fridge and slid it out even with and onto that platform to save lifting. A proper height plastic or wood step or a small platform of 2x4s would do the same thing. I had heavy cardboard on the floor and covering all surfaces I might come in contact with on the way out the front door (slide the passenger seat as far back as possible). Once out, I tipped the top to my wife, lifted the bottom and we walked it out. Reverse the steps to get the new one in.



Good luck,

I can see what appears to be a track when I look at the back but have no clue as to how many screws and there locations. (The 89 model has strips of mirror installed above the rear dinette seat) Thanks to all. David Hanvy 89WB currently in Bandera TX.

> David, I just pulled out my frig yesterday. There were two screws at the rear of the bottom tracks under the frig and the rest are in the edge of the front metal trim. Don't forget all the clamps on the AC power cord! I will write a step by step post on rebuilding a 3 way frig soon. Give me a call if I can help.
