robhar Posted May 22 Can anyone advise how to remove the new style dometic fridge vents as I want to install a fan kit to help the fridge work in the heat I am expecting this summer. There is a clip on the left which I can push up to release the left side but I cannot see how the right side by the gas exhaust releases. The gas vent section is a separate vent and just lifts off. Should the right side just pull away or is there a special technique to avoid damage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Grouse Posted May 22 Pull the left side away once the clip has been released and the right-side should then just come away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiaboy Posted May 22 On refitting make sure you have inserted the right hand side fully in as you will find it impossible to push the left hand side over the pin for the clip, I found this out yesterday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Grandad Posted May 22 Open the vent as though the right-hand side were a hinge. Once you reach about 45 degrees the right side should come away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don't lose the little turn button. A replacement will cost you between 2 and 3 quid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
