Any chance the RV had been sitting with the refer off before this most recent trip? If so, how long?
Hi Jim,
Yes, I was traveling during those three days. And, the RV had been sitting with the refer off for about three weeks before this trip.
How does that affect the system? Sounds like you have some insight, and I appreciate it. By the way, it's still working good now, but I still don't trust it enough to load it up with expensive frozen stuff -- I just can't afford to throw stuff away.
Thanks for your ideas.
Traveling or sitting does NOT make a difference. UNLESS, you were off level AND the refer was ON. If you store an RV refer off level and DO NOT turn it on, it will have no relation with performance once you level the refer and turn it on. IF you turned it ON and it was not correctly level, and it did not cool, then traveling would cause the refer to start operating. BUT, if this was the case you have partially destroyed the cooling unit and the refer will never operate to its full potential. Doug
