Dometic fridge door sticking

[Hoits]

Hi, We have a Bailey Pagaent Champagne fitted with a Dometic RM8500 fridge. Our problem is that the door catch sticks and is difficult to open, and we are worried that at some point it may become impossible. There appear to be 3 points to adjust it,

First the Door hinges, these seem to have some slack in them and if you lift the door while opening it it doesnt stick, Second the Catch in the door, although I can see no obvious way of adjusting this, and finally the clip on fridge body. This appears to be held in by two screws, but they are behind a clear plastic cover that I can't remove.
To get at the door hinges, which is my preferred solution I have to take the fridge out of the housing. There are 4 plastic plugs which look as though they cover screws into the casing , but a quick check found no screws. How do I get the fridge out? and will it be connected with flexible tubing so I don't have to disturb the Gas.

Any Ideas would be welcomed

There are screws in plastic plugs about 25mm in.Pipe is not flexible you will have to remove outside top vent to get a pipe connection top left hand.

As doing any work on 8 series fridges connected with the hinges (and other major parts) requires the fridge to come out of its housing, unless you are competent with gas and have the necessary test equipment to test the installation afterwards, get a qualified Engineer to do the work for you.

I fully agree with damian if you have not got a manometer to test on re -installation leave well alone,i worked with gas for 40 years of working life before retirement.

My fridge door hinge has come a little loose and til I get time to remove the fridge and tighten it I have lifted it and put some plastic packers under it ,works fine.BTW I am gassafe registered for LPG before anyone tells me not to remove it.
