Thanks for the great detail on the frig. R&R. Has anyone noticed their frig.
cooling fan coming on when you leave your Westy sitting in the sun on real
hot days. Mine did this several times while in AZ on vacation.
An aside: someone posted a question about locating the section in the
Bentley regarding water/coolant pump removal. I also looked and could not
find any description of this procedure. Also noticed it is called both water
and coolant pump. The procedure is detailed pretty well in the Haynes I have
in section 3.6. Weird.

Somewhere I read that turning the fridge upside -down overnight helps to
recombine the chemicals or get them back in their proper place or something
like that. So I did this first. .
Then I added the fridge computer fan on the top fins and a stock replacement
motor for the bottom fins. I also added heat sink paste to the thermostatic
heat switch for the fans.
Finally, I hooked it up to propane and ran it all day. The results: The
fridge cools to 25 degrees. The outside air temp was 60.

This is pretty good. I have yet to see how the fans help.

  Before I put the fridge back in, I put a layer of aluminum sandwich bubble
wrap insulation against the wall.

Other improvements from cleaning the burner chamber and nozzle is the fridge
now lights on propane instantly.
This is the second fridge I serviced this year and the last one had a lowest
temp of 22.5 degrees.

Most of this info that I used  is stored in the archives titled
