Need a Couple of Close-Up Pictures...Please!

Okay, this is a long shot, but I'll give it a try, anyway.

I need some good, clear pictures of the back of an old Dometic model 663 refrigerator. I found the PDF of the Dometic service manual which was kindly placed online to help others, and it is a great aid, but the pictures are unreadable/unviewable.

While replacing the cooling unit on my Dometic 663, two things happened which now leave me trying to figure out how to get them back together again: 1) a small wire leading from the black piezoelectric block on the circuit board accidentally pulled loose while I was replacing the fridge, and I can't see where it goes. One end, for sure, goes on the black piezoelectric block, as stated, but I can't, for the life of me, see any place where the other end goes, except probably where there is a row of connection terminals on the printed circuit board, but I don't know which one of the empty slots it would be.

2) When removing the old cooling unit, I had to undo the boiler/chimney assembly, in order to pull the gas ignition unit away. But, as I was disassembling it, the sheet metal parts that hold the electric heaters up in the boiler chimney fell apart into my hands, before I could really see just how they were arranged. I should've taken a picture, but what's that they say about hindsight being better than foresight? I actually did take a couple of pictures, but of the wrong areas.

If anyone has one of these old Dometic 663's and would be so kind as to take a quick close-up picture of the back of it, and then send it to me, I would be very grateful. Or, if there is somewhere online that has such a picture, I would appreciate being steered in that direction. I have tried 'Googling' for such images, but haven't been successful, yet

There is a pizo-electric block (You push a button or turn a knob to make a spark)

These typically have one wire that runs from the block to a prob in the flame area, it is one of the ignition points.

I've never seen a fridge with a Pio-electric block.. Direct Spark Ignition yes. high voltage yes. But Pizo blocks are MANUALLY operated.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Hi Old-Biscuit.

Thanks for that info. I appreciate your time and effort.
Everything went well, and it all looks like it should.

Dometic 663

Reignitor has 4 wires.....
1...goes to ground
2...goes to 10 pin connector on circuit board ---position 'G' (#7)
3... (black wire) goes to 10 pin connector on circuit board ---position 'F' (#6)
4...sparker wire


As for burner/stack/flue sheet metal covers....scroll down to 661 exploded parts. S/B same for 663'
