How to Remove Dometic Refrigerator

[bobnelms]

Hi all,

Due to a mysterious leak issue on our 2016 Cougar 5th wheel RV refrig, I'd like to remove it for closer inspection. I've googled "how to remove a dometic refrigerator," read everything I found, looked at YouTube videos but cannot BUDGE my refrig -- it's planted in there like a rock.

I'd insert some photos, but don't know how. Instead, I think I've attached some images.

Here's what I did.

First, I unscrewed 2 screws holding the back of the refrig down (after disconnecting all electrical and propane lines).

Next, I uninstalled the push button module on the front of the refrig and then unscrewed the top 2 front screws.

Then I unscrewed the bottom 2 front screws.

When I tried to slide out the refrig -- nothing. I can't rock it, I can't budge it.

What am I doing wrong?

You should be good. You might have someone inside pull while you push at the tank.

A few follow ups:

First, what "tank?"

Second, when I look at the frig from the rear, what is supposed to slide? Are the RAILS supposed to slide on the BLACK piece that the frig sits on -- or is the black piece itself supposed to slide?

Comment: very much of the airspace between the frig and the cabinet that it sits in is filled with that expandable foam. This foam might be holding the frig in place. If so, how in the world am I going to get it out??

Thanks
