Top video, so clear - thanks. One thing worth mentioning: I did this on my 'van (incidentally same model 'van and fridge as the one you worked on - Dometic/Electrolux RM 6270 in an Ace Jubilee Ambassador, 2003) but the foam seals were horrendous. The had all turned to a black tar/bubblegum consistency, so gooey that there were great strings of the stuff when the fridge came out. I would recommend having some thick cardboard in place to protect the carpet. I had to spend a long time cleaning both fridge, fridge void and marks on the carpet. This stuff gets everywhere. Meths on a rag works, as does brake cleaner, but bc would probably be a bit too aggressive on the laminate surfaces.
Brilliant! Not confident to break gas pipe to get the fridge out. Can this be achieved without taking the fridge out completely? Oh yeh - love the way you are working on the fridge in between the two seats! Brilliant
Excellent video thanks . I have just removed my Fridge and am about to fit a new 230v element. I wasn't sure how to test for a non working element before committing to removing the fridge as its a lot of work involving removing a bed , cupboards and some wiring in my Camper van but some searching on youtube provided the answer. if the element is open circuit its fubar .Still not absolutely sure that the 2x brown element wires don't have polarity ? but I guess if I refit as original it will be ok. The resistance of my 230v Element measured 339 ohms with the 2x brown wires disconnected from the rheostat and green switch. With the fridge switched on the temperature of the outlet pipe at the top of the heat exchanger went from 84 (cold) to 112 degrees within 9 minutes ! but it does take at least 4 minutes before you start to see a temperature increase so be patient when testing .
Great video and I managed to get the electric working again after changing the element. However, I cannot fathom out exactly what to do with the battery wires off the grey cable to switch etc. Can you help /add a picture? Many thanks
I great video I have the 240v 125w element buts is grey not red like the fitted also the contractions are different I have two brown and earth but not sure what Brown wire goes to the switch and thermostat can you help.
My fridge which is the same, trips the electrics when first hooked up. I run it on gas for a few hours, then switch it back to 240 and all is good. It just trips out before its properly cold it seems.
Great video , I've got a dometic RM7291L, my problem is that when using hook up, the fridge green light will illuminate for the 240, and will start to cool, after a few hours the green 240 light will go dim but still slightly lit and fridge will stop cooling, if left like that for a few hours, the fridge will start working again, green light will be full lit and start cooling again, this cycle keeps happening, 12v won't work when towing, tried gas the orange light just keeps flashing, please help its our new van , thanks
Hi, We have the same fridge and cant seem to get it to work on EHU or 12V. We have changed the relays as read that the step should also close on turning the engine off but it wasn't that, as step still doesn't retract and fridge still not working unless on gas. Please could you advise, or if your near us Twickenham area be able to fix for us. Thanks.
I also have the same fridge in this video. But I also have 4 wires which I don't know where they go to. As it came out a caravan and I putting it into a caravan. And I putting it into a Canberra band the wars are white road, green and yellow red and white and white and black. Could you tell me what these wires go to please
My model, RM 4270, has a thermostat probe to both the electric and another to the gas thermostat. I can't pull them out of the hole. What's holding them and how do I get to it please?
What an excellent video, not my problem but really well done, I was hoping to see more of your videos but alas only two to watch 🤢 what happened? are you going to do more?
Hi, My fridge wont work on 240v only on the gas, how do I check the element is working with a multi meter? I'm getting a reading in OHM's but I do not know how many it should be reading it's a Dometic RM7550 135w/130w many thanks Steve

Great video, does it matter which way the brown wires go round ? A lot of parts for this fridge are now discontinued.

Hi does it matter which way the 2 brown wires are connected?

What areas do you serve please

What about the 12v element how do you change that 🤔
Where we can buy this thermo elements? Thanks.

Whats wrong when the camping fuses blow the moment i push the 230v on button of my electrolux fridge ? Is that also a broke element ?
Does the element get hot or cold
hi my refrigerator, after connecting 240v, blows up fuses, what may be the reason I replaced the element and it is still the same
I have a problem with my Electrolux 3 Way fridge, if I take it out and bring it to you could you service it for me?
hello John,
what are you experiencing with the fridge?
Ryan
Hi, My fridge wont work on 240v only on the gas, how do I check the element is working with a multi meter? I'm getting a reading in OHM's but I do not know how many it should be reading it's a Dometic RM7550 135w/130w many thanks Steve
I measured 339 ohms on one element and 369 ohms on a spare element ,...both measured with the brown wires disconnected from the fridge naturally
Where can I get the thermostate controle box for 220 v Electrolux caravan fridge?
My 12 v is not working, and on the 12v switch cable connection spade get very hot,. What can that be?
Thanks tony
Somewhere there is a dead short, possibly the element is defective
@@caratube8288 its working now defect contact. But I blocked up gas, cause not working, and over here it would not pass m.o.t.
Thanks
