        All these Dometic fridge lighting problems can be solved by replacing the fridge with this fridge >  http://server2.gs-shop.de/200/cgi-bin/shop.dll?SESSIONID=0233973197871819&sprachdir=english&AnbieterID=4357 <  It's what I now have in my '87 Westy, brought it back from Germany, used one I found.  Yes, they are expensive and I would bring some in, for Canadians only, if interest with $ backing is expressed.  3 way operation, Propane, 220V, 12V.  No more pumping, firebox is not sealed, only one very flexible exhaust tube going out the side wall, automatic piezo lights the fridge immediately at every try, all controls outside where they should be, no need to open the fridge door to manipulate the controls, what was that all about ?  Fits into existing space perfectly and is larger inside capacity BECAUSE it takes up all the space right up to the rear wall which the original fridge left unused !  Door can be mounted for left of right hand use !  Magnetic door closure allows ease of opening and closing but there is a safety lock to keep it shut while driving. Only two caveats, the electric element is 220V, so a replacement 110V element would need to be sourced or do as I have done, purchase a 220V to 110V converter and install that behind the drivers seat, and the propane input fitting is not compatible with North American standards, it needs to be changed over, easy fix.  AND, the 12V operation cools the fridge just as well as all the other services, imagine that !
