pop up electrical outlets

My pop up elect tower by the stove on my 3791 has 2 outlets of which only 1 works. How do I get it apart to replace or repair?

You should be able to access it from below by removing the top drawer next to the oven. Be SURE power is OFF!

There's also a threaded ring nut that holds them down to the counter.

I was digging through my photos and found this shot of the pop-up plug under the counter.


It plugs into the outlet on the left so you could remove it and work on it at a bench for better access.

Electrical tower by table.

Any idea how to acces the one by the table? Seems to be fully enclosed. It feels like it will unscrew but I’m afraid the other half will fall into the void. Keystone Montana 3790RD

You have to remove the paneling on the side of the table and renail it. It's not to intrusive or hard to get off without damaging it.

Thank you, I was afraid that was going to be the solution.

Dcowden - my unit is a 2018. I used a flat head screw driver to pry the end panel off starting at the bottom corner next to the outside wall. Work it a little bit at a time. The panel is held on by wire staples. I slowly worked it off working from the bottom up, and then pulled the staples out of the panel. I replaced my pop-up outlet (the USBs went dead) - then I put the panel back on using finish screws. That way it will be easy to remove if needed in the future. Just work it slow - it will come off.

Thank you, I’ll give it a go!

Here is a previous post on this problem with pictures and links to other related posts. It should help you.

Thank you

Thank you! I don’t have that on mine. Looks like I’ll be removing the panel.

The panel on the end of mine is held on with screws. Very easy, 5 minute fix.

Another reason my next 5th wheel won't be a Montana or a Keystone.
