A while back, I had someone replace the upper radiator hoses. in the process, they didn't get the wires to the radiator level sensor properly secured and the fan ate them. The coach still runs fine, but I really need some help & guidance to check out the complete shut down circuit & get it back to proper operating condition.
Does anyone have any kind of a schematic for a non-computer diesel?
Pictures and/ or part numbers of the sensors would be a big help too.

Electrical trouble shooting is NOT something that comes naturally to me.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

We have a 1983 Newell with an original magic chef slide in gas top, over a micro/oven unit. Suburban, Wedgewood and Atwood are models I have found so far. Could not find many reviews on internet. One said the stove was made poorly and had cheap grates, think that wa an Atwood. Suburban seems to be cheaper option, but don't want to compromise quality.

If you have replaced your cook top, would appreciate any information such as:
1. what brand/model did your purchase and are you happy with it?
2. suggestions regarding installation. was replacement bigger or smaller and how did you retrofit.
3. suggestions regarding where to purchase.
THANKS!

Coach has been sitting plugged in. New 8D starting batteries 1 week ago, house batteries OK. 13.6 volts at the positive terminal on the starter. No matter what switch I use, (generator blower compartment, above driver, or above microwave,) the generator will not crank. There is no noise of any kind, no relay clicking, no solenoid engagement - nothing, nada, DEAD. 

Only problem I ever had was a leak in the radiator. Have owned this coach since March 2004. Newell doesn't know and recommended a local shop in Tulsa. Labor at $108.00/hr. No fuse on the relay box in the blower compartment or on the back of the generator. Looking for ideas as this is the first no crank condition ever encountered.

Many Thanks in advance.

Funny how small projects can turn into big ones. I started just trying to figure out why my cigarette lighter 12v power outlet in the dash to the left of the backup camera no longer had power and the socket had come loose able to be pulled out. Getting to the back side required pulling the kick panel behind the brake pedal. I got my arm weaved back behind and screwed the ground plate back on the socket. Both power and ground wires are well connected. Still no power, but solid mounting now.

No power, lead me to disassemble the kick panel in front of the passenger seat to investigate the fuse box. 40 fuses none labeled cigarette lighter or power socket (picture attached). I did NOT check them all. Does anyone know where the fuse is?

Since I never liked the GPS power cord draped over the dash to be plugged into power socket. I decided to install a new power socket between the windshield and dash on the black plastic shelf out of sight. Since I was going to clean up the look of the GPS cord, I decided to remove 2 old cellular phone base stations. This required another kick panel removal to the left of the steering wheel. I will also relocate the CB handset as it is obnoxious. 

To run the new 12v power wires out of sight, I removed the dash top. Richard, you mentioned that you cut the dash top Christmas trees and installed Velcro. Questions:

• What brand and where did you purchase the Velcro?
  
• Did you only use small sections where the Christmas trees were located, or did you cover the entire dash from the back sides?
  
• Any other tips?
  

In the process of pulling the old cell phone wires out. I think I pulled apart a yellow wire with a black rubber butt connector that I think connected to the dash A/C selector switch. Strangely, the end of the wire was not stripped like a typical crimp type butt connector (picture attached - I just pushed the yellow wire back into the rubber butt connector for the picture). How do these work? Can I replace with crimp type?

While I have everything apart anything else I should take care of?

Do other people's projects snowball like this?

Saw what looked to be about a 1976 36 ft Newell on Rt 17 in Dundee Florida Today.  Where are you staying.  Love to catch up with you and compare notes.  Sounded like a 6V92. Rooster, Kissimmee Fl.  1979 Newell 36, 1988 Newell 40, 2006 Wanderlodge 450 LXi.  05 Liberty Diesel Toad w/M&G Brake

Hello. Does anyone know if there is a direct replacement for the old Duo Therm that does not require modifying the exterior of the coach. One that uses the existing intake or exhaust. Has anyone abandoned the 3 propane heaters for an aqua hot? If so can they go inside the closet where the water heater and one heater is?

Gang,

This is going to be a long, rambly post so let me give you the punchline first....

Check and make sure that you really have filtered water at your filtered water / hot water dispenser.  You can do this by turning off the "filtered water" supply in the water pump bay.  In my case turning off that valve caused my dishwasher to not have water, yet the dispenser still had water.  Oops!

Ok, so here goes the long story.

About a year ago, I had Newell replace my dishwasher.  The old one was getting error codes and since it was 15-ish years old, I figured a new one would fix the codes and would avoid a service call from Fisher and Paykel.  The new dishwasher worked for about 10 minutes and started throwing error codes just like the old one.  The culprit turned out to be carbon grit in the supply line clogging the inlet valve.  I thought...Oh, a water filter broke and put its carbon grit into the supply line.  Oh well.  Newell flushed the line and the new dishwasher started working again.

(fast forward a year)

On my last trip, I noticed that my water pump was turning on and off frequently.  I went to water pump and found a small leak.  A follow guru told me how to take the apparatus above the pump apart and reassemble to fix the leak.  Now, no leak, but the pump is still doing that turn-on, turn-off, turn-on thing.

About that time, I noticed that the dishwasher was showing error codes again.  Inspection of the DW showed that even with the power killed to the DW, it was still trickling water into the tub.  Ugh.  I went to the water bay and turned the control valve labelled "Dishwasher" off.  Water still going into tub.  Hmmmm.  I also happened to check the filtered water dispenser and lo-and-behold no water.   Hmmm again.

I traced the water lines, and found that the water line that exits the filter goes to a "T".  One side of T goes to the refrigerator and the other side goes to the dishwasher.  The filtered water dispenser was fed from the dishwasher valve and DID NOT PROVIDE FILTERED WATER.  JUST WATER DIRECTLY FROM THE TANK.   The filtered water and dishwasher lines were swapped....Probably when the coach was built!!!!!!   Because of the refrigerator connection,  I could not just swap the fittings.  

The way that I fixed the situation was to cut the PEX going to dishwasher after the T and also cut the line going to the filtered water dispenser and use Sharkbite couplers to swap the lines.  The Sharkbite couplers are just push-on and do not require any crimping tool.

Now the filtered water valve feeds the filtered water dispenser and the dishwasher valve feeds the dishwasher.

Lessons learned...
1.  I have stayed away from turning the water valves thinking I would cause a leak.  This is false reasoning.  Those valves are there for a reason and if they leak, they should be replaced.  If you do nothing else....double check your filtered water to be sure that it is truly filtered.
2.  If you ever find carbon grit in your water line, you might think about how it got there.  (I didn't)
3.  The water trickling into the dishwasher was caused by more grit.  It turns out that the dishwasher is actually kinda easy to work on.  (I posted the manual).  Removing the inlet valve and cleaning resolved the issue.
4.  If your water pump is cycling and you cannot find obvious water leak, double check your dishwasher.  
5.  The PEX tubing in our coaches is easy to repair using Sharkbite fittings.
