On site in Spain and trying to help friend with about 8 year old Hymer fitted with this fridge. Does not work on mains electricity. Unfortunately I have to leave before a spare element can be delivered, so he will need to do it himself. Caravan is seasonal/static and no caravan service for some distance. He is qualified electrician but fairly new to caravanning.
Ideally I would like a link to a YouTube clip, or failing this a written description. I have googled extensively and can find the exploded view thanks to leisureshopdirect but this fridge is built in and will be a nightmare to remove or gain access to the connections at the top.The entire kitchen unit and hob tops will have to come out as the control spindles are through a fascia which effectively prevents the fridge from being pulled forward The idea is to work through the vent apertures, cut the lead where visible, remove the dead element and replace and reconnect with a decent junction box mounded away from the heat sources. A Dometic Engineer did exactly this on a Burstner I owned some time ago.
Any links to such a clip or other source very much appreciated
