How does one remove the fridge in a 2018 Tab 400? This model trailer has the small fridge under the propane stovetop. Does it involve removing the stovetop first?

    I know the isotherm refrigerator in the 2021 and up models have screws (two on each side) of the inside of the fridge that secure it to the cabinet sides. The older fridge may be similarly installed.

    @Jilong - if that doesn’t work, email Tech@nucamprv.com.

    Yes there are 2 screws on the inside of the fridge near the front of the door. Remove the caps and screws and you can pull it out but beware the wires coming in the side they get pinched on the side. You have to remove the corner panel at the foot of the bed to properly feed the cables through. 

    I pulled out the receptical and replaced it with a plug behind the drawer under the fridge to make the entire process a little easier.

    In the picture below (sorry not rotated, stove is on the left) you can see the hole (bottom Right) where the wires enter the fridge compartment. The wires get pinched under or beside the fridge framework.

    P.S. the insulation didn't help keep the fridge cool as hoped. It's gone now.

    I have a tab 320s 2018
    my flame meter needs replacing 
    does anyone know how to access and replace the meter?
    is it by lifting the stove above it?
    thanks

    Lifting the stovetop exposes the top of the fridge where most of the control parts are. There's a good chance you can remove the meter from there, depending on how it is mounted. Worst case you pull the fridge forward a couple of inches.
