Subject:      Late Model Dometic Refrigerator selector switch defective
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

My brother ownes a 1990 Vanagon in Switzerland he bought last year. On his
first longer trip to Italy last year he was having problems with his
refrigerator. The push button selector switch for propane kept popping out.
He eventually solved the problem by keeping the button in with a
toothpick.  In Switzerland RV's with a propane tank have to be reguarly
inspected and certified. Because of this issue, he is not passing the
inspection (tough laws there). He is unable to find a replacement switch in
Switzerland and I tried to find the selector with the 3 push buttons online
here, but also could not find anything. Has anyone of you had this problem?
Can these buttons be disassembled and repaired or would have one of you
guys have a spare set for sale?

As a last resort, it might be possible to replace the push button switch
with a 3-position toggle switch, similar to the one used for the older
model dometic fridge.
