COOLING UNIT FAILURE INSPECTION
1.
Park RV on a level surface
2.
If you smell ammonia inside or at the rear of the fridge it has failed.
3.
Inspect the cooling unit, the pipes at the back of the fridge.
4.
Let the fridge run on 110V or propane for one hour.
5.
Open the fridge vent cover at the driver side.
a.
Feel the lowest black pipe. It should be very hot. Now feel the piping system from the bottom
to the top. The pipes should gradually get a little bit cooler but still warm. If there is a sudden
change from hot to cool there is a blockage in the system and it has failed.
b.
Listen to the black pipes. There should be no sounds. If you hear a swishing, gurgling, or
running liquid inside the system has failed.
c.
If you see a yellow residual staining usually at the lower right area at the back of the fridge the
fridge has a leak and failed.
