Recently purchased lunar delta 640, mcb at fuse box okay, the bank of 6 fuses all have continuity, how do I access the plug for the fridge to check the fuse in it as when I removed the sink, the connector block on top of the fridge isn't getting power either on 12v or 230v.....
Ps- I'm also struggling to get the fridge out, removed the 4 screws inside the fridge but no joy,
Any advice would be much appreciated
the fridge wont move until you undo the "soild "gas pipe, which will probably be underneath to the side of the fridge, you may need to remove a grill to get to the pipe
If you need to disconnect the gas pipe, then it is best to get a gas safe person into reconnect. If I remember correctly from our previous L011 Lunar 640, the top panel pulls off and you change the 1.5v batteries.
No need to remove the fridge which can be a very big job and take a couple of hours. Not something I would do and would rather employ a professional caravan AWS fitter to do the job.

Thanks for getting back to me, once I do this, will it get me access to the 3 pin 240v plug so I can check the fuse in it?
TBH it is unlikely that the fuse in the plug would have blown. Common problems with these fridges is the element going open circuit. Another problem is moisture on the PC board which causes corrosion and the print goes open circuit. Does the fridge work on gas?
We traded in our 640 in July 2016 so memory is sparse and cannot remember if the fridge was a Dometic or Thetford fridge however the feeling is that it is a Thetford fridge.
Fridge mains will be wired direct to the caravan consumer unit no plug at fridge.. Removing bottom vent outside there will be 2 connections one for mains and one for 12 volt no need to remove fridge unless elements need replacing.

If I recall correctly no need to remove fridge to change the element?
Hi, I switched between gas/230 & 12 volts on my dometic RM 7291L and now it's not working, I'm getting 230v to the pcb but no indicator lights or anything........
