Robyn,
Don't forget the valuable resources found at
www.vanagon.com > Articles & Essays > Refrigerator
Info.

Using the several articles found there, I was able to
get my stubborn fridge working quite dependably,
without removing it from the van or disassembling it.
Especially helpful was the technique involving a shop
vac and an old nylon stocking to remove accumulated
rust flakes and dead bugs from the intake/exhaust
flues.

Try some of those tricks before yanking the whole
unit.

Good luck!
