Help required, fridge , trumatic e1800 problem.

Post by sevy »

Finall ripped the bloody van to bits today and fished out the fridge and trumatic propex heater as neither would work at dubfreez last week after a winter lay away. First i put in a zig unit over winter and everything was fine before that ,now the gremilins have took over. After a chat sat at dubfreeze i rewired everthing back to the battery as before , still the heater wont fire up and the fridge is dead and i mean dead , gas is getting to both theres, no battery power to fridge controls. Any one know where i can take them or have any plans to strip. Took heater to bits to see if any blockages and nothing seen , going to try to rig the fridge up to spare battery and gas bottle using some spare pipe , see if i can get elec there. Fridge is an RM 185 electrolux .havent tried fridge on mains yet . i prefer to run it in gas never use 12v apart from start, There is no pezo nothing when you push in control nob , it used to all fir up automatically. All have been running last year at van fest. Trouble is van in LHD and all bits seem to be in germany and most sites are so im pretty stumped now.
Any advice would be grateful. And I can buy another fridge as there all bloody too wide for my fitting. ahggggggggggg
al1 i have read vw tech and learnt about solenoid , though it was ok but will strip it down again and check
the heater fans working and its ticking so believe its firing appears gas but gas is getting there well to heater
