Removal of 4 door Dometic fridge

Hello all. I need to replace the water line that runs from the solenoid valve to the ice maker in my 4 door Dometic fridge. Can anyone that has done that tell me where the screws that hold it in are? I found two on the bottom that screw into the wood frame, but that is all I could find. Do I need to do anything outside as well? I will unhook the propane outside in the access area, but don't know what else I need to do to slide it out. Thanks.

My Whirlpool also has some struts at the top that go across to the holes for the hinges. This is on both sides, since the door hinges can be swapped.

Do you have any struts at the top to hold the fridge in?

Hi Gordon, don't see any struts. Going out to try to finish the job at first light this morning. I have a friend coming over to help with the job.

Update- got the fridge out and back in. There were a total of 7 different screws holding it into the wall. 4 inside (2 top and 2 bottom) and 3 outside located in the lower "service door" area. The fridge was quite heavy and the cutout it is in is a pretty tight fit, so 2 people are recommended for the job of getting it out and back in. The problem with mine was that the water line to the ice maker had simply back itself out of the little grommet it fits into. They had a spring clip on it to hold it in and it did not do the job. I reinserted it and used a screw clamp instead and now all is good. -Glenn
