Re: [A/S] Refer Repair or Replace
Jim, what a bummer. My 30 year old fridge is still going strong on
propane, never tried electric.
I can't remember if you tried burping it. That is when you take the
whole thing out and turn it upside down. The chemical reaction that
makes cold needs to be in a level system or the solids plug it up. That
is the same for either gas or electricity. Theoretically, if it works on
one, it will work on both, I think anyway.
A couple of thoughts: Is the inside of the chimney clean ? Is the area
behind the fridge clear so that the heat can escape out the vent on top
? Mine takes 24 hours to get cold, did you wait long enough ?
These are all things any reasonalbly intelligent, honest RV repair place
should check, but it sounds like that's scarce out there.
I'm going to be very sad when mine dies, I prefer not to have all the
electronic controls, just one more thing to go bad.
