Gently pull the hoses from the wall vent structure (7); a press fit. The hoses should have Neoprene
O-rings on the ends (8), as seals against the vent housing. If you tear one of these O-rings, they can
be replaced with standard Neoprene rings from the local auto or hardware store. They prevent
exhaust gas from leaking into the van’s interior.
10.
Remove all screws from the plastic panel just left of the fridge.
(As you remove the panel and mounting screws, make a quick drawing of their positions to facilitate
their return to the same positions later.)
11.
Remove screws from the grill beneath the fridge door.
12.
Remove all screws on the side flanges of the fridge, on either side of the door.
13.
Tape the ‘door locking pin’, on the chain, to the cabinet, to keep it out of the way.
14.
Ensuring that all front screws are removed, gently pull the fridge straight out about ¾ of its depth.
The gas line will purposely bend forward as the fridge is pulled out; be gentle and careful.
15.
Once the gas connection is exposed, use two open-end wrenches to loosen the tubing nut from the
fridge fitting. Be careful not to twist the fitting on the fridge valve. Remove the gas line from the
valve connection.
CAUTION: Some propane may seep momentarily from the tubing end, but it should
NOT
continuously flow from the fitting. If there is a continuous flow,
STOP
,
and immediately retighten
the fitting and resolve the issue with the external propane tank shutoff. No flow should continue from
this tube!
