    A thin flatbladed scredriver behind the switch bezel will take it out. Like I said though when I checked mine for you there was practically no slack on the wires you'd need to catch the spade connector with a pointed pliers to stop it springing back inside.

    Hi I have just purchased a fiat ducato sundance yr 2000, have realised the electrolux rm 4200s fridge is not working, I connected the mains electric into camper switched green light to 1 , but it is not glowing to show me it is on, 12v does not seem to work either, I checked under bonnet for fuses by battery, and found a 20 amp fuse was blown,changed it , tried again, but still no fridge working? I am not even sure if that is fuse for the fridge, please help? I am new to motorhomes? Please help me? Thanks...nick

    Also there is a 12v 4amp fused box above fridge but I can't work out how to open it to see fuse, how do you get to fuse?.... Just out of interest are there bulbs behind green and red switches that could have blown? Maybe it is on but not glowing the switches as bulbs blown, but I still can't hear it working anyway? Please someone help? Thanks kindly...nick

    Do you have a multimeter?
    For 12v, first things first whats your leisure battery condition?
    Have you got a panel like this to check? http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=85028658&postcount=1

    If it was just the bulb you can leave it on for a while you should feel the fins internally getting cold or at least heat from the vent.

    Hi moodrater yes the control panel is the same as you sent me, my leisure battery status is on just over middle of green section, and no I'm not very technical, have not got a multimeter??? So I connect to mains ,then switch green light up to I symbol on switch, and see what happens?? So is there bulbs in these switches that glow or don't they glow on this model of fridge???. And 12 v just turn on to leisure battery symbol C I presume then feel vent after a while and fins at top inside of fridge??? Or in freezer compartment is it?? Nick

    Almost unheard of for the green 220v one to blow , not unusual for the red 12v one to burn out . However 12v/mains/gas are all totally separate from each other , in that era of fridge, so no single fault should stop it working . Aside from it falling out on the ground! lol

    We'll have managed to get fridge going on 220 ,thought the green switch would glow though,but obviously not on this fridge, not tried gas yet, so fingers crossed, thanks for all help guys. Nick

    One more thing, the gears are reasonably easy to change when engine not running, but when engine is running its hard to push into gears would it be something I read about called gear linkage????? Hope it's not clutch.....nick

    Sounds like clutch dragging , Gear linkage shouldn't cause that,.
