'76 Westy Refrigerator Wiring Diagram

I just picked up a Westy refrigerator/stove cabinet. The wiring for the refrigerator has been spliced in to. What are the two switches on the side? One is a rotary (temp?) the other is like a light switch. On the transformer there is a switch that says converter/battery. Any wiring help to point me to some info?

I also picked up the propane tank. It needs certification and other new parts before I bolt it to the bus. Which bus, I'm not sure.

I'm not certain if they changed the fridge from '75 to '76, but here's a pamphlet that came with my bus,

and a trouble shooting guide for '78.

Check out westfalia.org as well as hercdriver's links. They should have all of your information. . . if you are Westfalia-equipped.

Most NW folks use it as a cooler with ice. I think it may be propane-hungry.

No worries. I don't post much, but I have learned a great deal through the forums. It's nice to give back to the community.

v.cruzer - I'm not sure this covers your '76 chassis, but I find this fridge wiring/troubleshooting info pretty easy to follow - http://type2.com/bartnik/fridgediag.htm
