My 03 Fiat Ducato Rapido 786F has an Electrolux RM6501 fridge / freezer, a while ago the control knob which switches the power between 122v, 240v and gas boke where it slides over the metal spindle.
I have repaired it temporarily by winding wire around the broken end and taping it. It is working ok at the moment but I don't know for how long.
I have tried 2 or 3 reclaimation places in the UK but no-one has this item, also any online parts shop I find it says it is not available any more.
Does anyone have an idea where I could try, if not online, we are touring around Ireland in July and could call in one or two places that might have one.
The problem is that the spindle it quite stiff to turn and if I try and turn it with a pair of thin pliers the ends don't grip, I suppose I could try and get a bit of tubing from somewhere and hammer one side flat so that I could at least turn the controller if the plastic knob did break.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks Phil
