There are good resources online that explain how clean the fridge
without removing it:

http://www.vanagon.com/info/articles/Refrigerator/Dometic_fridge_basics.htm

as well as resources that explain step-by-step how to remove and clean
the fridge. Personally, all I've ever had to do was blow air up the
drain pipe to get mine started, but YMMV.
