Hey,
I think this is the right area to post this.
I had noticed on my last couple trips that the fridge had slowly been warming up during the trip. I would start out at my place with the gas on for a few days ahead and it would nicely cool down. During the trips, I found it would gradually warm up. I figured it was just because we had parked tilted a few times and the outside temps were quite warm. It dawned on me though, when we first got the camper about 5 years ago, I always had issues with it freezing the vegetables...
This last trip, by the time we got home, the fridge was warm and spoiled our food, thankfully it wasn't much. (Get the war sticks up, I ran the propane while driving)
So I did a test and it cools down when using 120V but not at all while on propane (did this while parked and level over a few days)
So is the fridge toast? Can I try the old flip method? I would rather not but if its worth a try, I might. Its a bit of a pain to remove just to test.
Is it time to get a new fridge?
Thanks,
GBW
