Here's a link to a bunch of pictures I took of my Dometics https://picasaweb.google.com/musomuso/DometicPics Some of the info may not be 100% correct as I've been learning along the way, but the pics themselves may serve to provide some insight into the various parts. The added red wires are mods I made to my fridge. Neil.
