To remove the fridge:
->Disconnect battery wires at rear of fridge. Either disconnect the battery and unplug the camper, or ensure the positive lead can't short to ground. I just put the wire nut and a piece of tape back on the positive feed.
->Turn off propane
->Disconnect propane
->Disconnect power coord at rear of fridge
->Remove screw from top of door. Don't loose the plastic washer between the door and hinge bracket. Tilt top of door out and lift off bottom pivot.
->Remove 6 screws (#2 square bit)
->In the rear, there may be one or two screws holding the back of the fridge down. If so, they will be in the bottom metal flange.
->Slide unit out as required. Recommend push from the back, but not on any of exchanger parts.
If not sufficient room to work on it, drop the dinette and set on the table.
My unit didn't have a seal on the back of the flange. but if yours does, or a bead of caulking, just break it loose with a puddy knife.
