The green on-off rocker switch on my Dometic Fridge has disintegrated leaving just the housing containing two contacts visible.  I have a replacement to insert but before starting to fiddle around - nearby local Motorhome dealers are up to their eyeballs in work - it seemed sensible to ask if anyone in the Club knew how to go about doing this. All advice greatly received - even if limited to what not to do!

    I'd have thought that if it's just an on / off switch there'd be minimal wiring to the back of it ... probably just switching the live, so just 2 wires on the back. Pull the old switch and swap each & any wires 1 at a time.

    Thanks, ED: I found that the trick was to get to the back of the fridge through the external ventilation grill opening in order to push the wiring towards the front of the fridge to avoid the spade connectors coming off the switch terminals (there were actually 4) - if they had come off there'd have been no way of being sure how to connect up the new switch in the right way and the switch was for the 230v hook up connection !
