Scott,

Once out .... don't forget to turn the fridge upside down to "BURB" it. Made
a huge difference in the performance of my unit.

I let it sit upside down over night.

Turned it over, plugged it into 110V and let it run 12-14 hrs.

And burped it once again before reinstalling.

Local LP guru tipped me to the burping.

Scott -

I have had my fridge out several times without pulling the cabinet in my
'87.  Remove the front wooden trim that holds the door, get into the
cabinets on the left and right and pull the two screws on each side.

With the drawer removed, you can reach the gas line with a short wrench and
loosen it.  Be sure to turn off gas at the tank first, no open flames, etc.

The 110 v line just plugs in under the sink.  I seem to remember the 12v
line being a bit hard to unplug, but it does come apart. <<<<
