Remove the vent cover (3 or 4 screws), hold the vacuum hose (the tip on my vacuum is the same diameter as the fridge exhaust pipe) up against the exhaust (inner) pipe, and turn the vacuum on for a short time period. Remove the hose, tap lightly on the exhaust pipe with a hammer, and repeat the vacuuming. I got a lot of soot out of mine and the fridge worked fine afterwards. However, part of my problem was a discharged coach battery and soot buildup may not have been a real problem.
