89 Westy Fridge Removal....

[JAMIEW]

Im trying to remove the fridge from my Westy. Got the front off fine, 3 screws from the sidse, disconnected vent, gas and electrics but the fridge just wont pull out. It appears to be stuck fast and pivoting on the bottom left hand side, but for the life off me cant see any more screws or bolt that can still be in place.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Yup..two self tapping screws EACH side.

Top left inside the storage unit closest to the burners.
Bottom left in the small lower cabinet. Both are in recessed holes.

Right side upper and lower...much easier to see and is sounds like you have found both of these.

I had the same problem with mine but eventually found all the screws. Here's the thread I started to ask for some advice https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=84798" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It has some pics that you might find helpful. Why is yours coming out?

Good luck!

It was a screw in the left hand corner that was in a recessed hole, but somewhat off centred. Only found by physicaly sticking my head in the cubby hole to see it

Anyways, once that was found fridge came out like a dream, and managed to give everything a good clean. The gas jets and ignitor were completely cr@pped up, currently under test so hopefully my beers will be nice and chilled.

***update - working ace, ice'd up in just over an hour!***

Thanks for the replies!

Have you done the turning it upside down for 24 hours trick? It worked well for me.

Only had it upside down for an hour max, couldnt risk not getting it back together in a day. As mentioned above lots of crap on jets and ignitor. so wet and dried carefully the ignitors and poked a strand of fine cable through the jet until I could see a clear round hole (hole probably 50% bigger after poking).

All in all if it wasn't for the half hidden screw, the job would have taken 1.5hrs i guess.Well worth doing.
