Help!! Before I break something.
Need to replace the drain hose in my Dometic refrigerator. 2008 Holiday Rambler 40PDQ. Refrigerator is in slide.
Everything I read here says I have to pull the refrigerator to access the back. I have the installation instructions which show 6 screws two top and two bottom on front of frig then two in the rear on the bottom. I am not finding any screws on the rear bottom and the frig is still tight. Has anyone pulled one of these and found the other screws? Installation manual says RM1350 but user manual says NEA1402 N
NDA1402.

I also had 6 screws just as you describe. That bugger is really heavy! Mine took a little push to get it started.

Mine were from the outside, inside the lower access panel, screwed through that lower galvanized sheet metal. They could have rusted all fallen out?
If I recall, the front lower ones were not so obvious.

Found the two holes in the rear galvanized pan. No screws so guess I need to use a little more force to get it moving. Making me nervous.

The change was personal choice. But the Samsung is colder and you can put way more in it.
In my case it was pretty easy swap.

John, which Samsung did you use? I have the Dometic in the slide out too. I moved mine out last year to replace the drain tube as well. It took a good push to get it to move.

I just realized the date of the post. Sorry I didn't pick up on it sooner. This may help in the future.

I used RF18HF. I had to glue a bracket to the top to keep it from wobbling with the slide in.
