Refrigerator not cooling
My refrigerator is not cooling on gas or 110 but I'm not that level. We're going on our first trip in this RV. The gas burner comes on. Am I worried over nothing? How level does it have to be?

TURN FRIDGE OFF..............STOP OPERATING IT UN-LEVEL......YOU ARE KILLING IT!!!
Absorption fridges rely on proper gravity flow for the heat/vapor/liquid process used to cool the fridge. Off level operation disrupts this needed/required gravity flow, causes over heating of coolant which results in crystals being foamed that then plate out of inside of tubes. This damage is accumulative and permanent. If can happen with just 20 minutes of off level operation.
Level RV whenever stationary before turning fridge ON (OK while in transit due to rig movement
