Hello. I do not want to start a flame war here. I respect all opinions, but I want first to be done with troubleshooting my RV fridge.
My first question is "what is normal"?
What sort of temperature should I expect on the aluminum fins after, say, 1 hour of running on propane and seeing propane burn?
In real time-NOTHING on the fins after 1 hour. The Cooling unit starts at the top(freezer) and then goes down to the fins. You will feel cold in the back wall of the freezer after 1 hour. The freezer after 24 hours will be 0 to 5 degrees. The refer fins will be 10 degrees colder than the items in the refer---water is 36 degrees after 24 hours the fins will be 26 degrees. There is no way to speed up the process. You MUST wait 24 hours for a complete cool to set temp. After 3 or 4 hours you will feel cool/cold on the evap fins. Doug
