Sounds like it's working properly. :B

Gas /electric provide roughly the SAME "heat" to the boiler for turning the ammonia into a vapor

Same cooling unit..so if electric cooled it down the propane will cool it down/maintain temps
PROVIDED the propane system functions....proper LP System pressure, burner/orifice clean, flue/flue baffle clean etc.

Got it cold...swap it to gas and check temps tomorrow

I let it go back to room temp because I was cleaning it..then turned on gas,,,about 1 hr the water in the freezer was pretty solid, just now I check the fridge it was 42...so I assume its ok ??
I let the setting at 3 and 5 is coldest

So by a cool down test you mean turn it on with gas, leave the setting on 3 and check the temp on gas ? How long after starting gas should I wait to check temp ?
Thx

luberhill,

Turn the fridge off for 24 hours. Then run a cool down test with the propane.

Ok just checked with two good thermometers...Freezer is 6 degs fridge on bottom shelf is 32 degs...that's set on 5 the highest...ill turn back to 3 where they said they left it and check again...now this is on electric
Should it hold that temp on gas ?? If I turn to gas how long before I know its ok ?
Thx for the help

Initial cooling process for an absorption fridge is 12Hrs Plus

Freezer has to get to 10*F before food compartment can effectively cool down

RV/Fridge needs to be reasonably level for proper operation and not cause damage

ok the thermometer battery was dead, lol...I put another cup of water in the freezer, it was frozen in half hour so I know that's cold,,,if the freezer is that cold shouldn't the fridge be ok ??
Ill put a better thermo in there and check in the am...should I leave it at setting 5 which is the highest ?
Then turn to gas and see ??
Again I believe the people that its fine but ...
Thx

Absorption fridges take awhile to cool down. Let it be overnight and see what it's like in the morning (or afternoon).

It’s on electric now for 2 hrs, freezer has water frozen fridge is still only 53 degs ???
Shouldn’t it be like 35 ??
I have it set on 5 which is the highest
