We're just back from a four week trip to Montana and back which included some very dusty roads and playa driving. Naturally this created a ton of dust, some of which finds its way into the exterior portions of the Dometic 3-way fridge. Not the first time either so I'd love to get into the burner assembly and give it a thorough cleaning after 5+ years of use.
However when I start disassembling the lower portion of the flue where the burner resides it appears that I can't drop the cigar-shaped burner assembly down far enough to clear the tabs from the flue above. I blew it out with some compressed gas and got some ashy residue to fall out but would still like to access the rest of the burner to clean it up. It hits the floor of the cabinet before it clears the tabs.
Maybe I'm overlooking some magic in the disassembly process but it appears that the way it is put together precludes me from easily getting to the burner. Any suggestions? See attachments in order of disassembly.
Thanks to all you gurus out there!
