Fridge Question

Once you watch this one find the rest of their series. If you can't diagnose it after that you will just have to use your check book.

Ok... so I guess I left out some pertinent info, for that I apologize. The TT is set up permanently and prior to this weekend the fridge had been working, the only change was the backed up condensate line and,a build up of frost in the freezer which was removed. The fridge was on 120v and stays on. I have switched over to gas to see if there maybe a issue with the 120 source. I am still confused about the seal and the drain open to outside air.
Thanks!

I have a new NORCOLD side by side that worked great for a couple camping trips, but then the fridge would not get below 50 F. Freezer worked perfectly. Spoke with NORCOLD factory direct and they indicated that the sensor in the fridge needed to be replaced. They sent me a new one, I installed it and have not had any problems since. It took about 5 minutes to install new sensor and most of that time involved reading the directions. Easy fix if your issue is like mine. Good luck.

The drain plug has a very small hole in the center. I bet this hole is plugged with gunk and looks solid. This allows the fluid to drip out slowly into the evaporation pan.

The plugged drain would not keep the refrig. from working. If on Elec. or gas it will take about 8 hours or longer to get cold inside. How long are you waiting? Usually plugging it in or turning it on the day before you need it and it will be ready to use.
If using propane it will only try and light 3 times by it's self so if you have air in the propane line it will not light and you will need to turn it off and try and start it again. The same goes for the furnace.
After turning on the propane at the bottle start all the burners on the stove and that will speed up clearing the propane lines of air.
The refrig. also needs 12 volts of power to work (furnace also) so if your batt.s are low re rig. and furn. will not work.

Did you check the fuses, it needs 12v to work whether on electric or propane.
Also, does it work at all, or just not get down to a cooler temp, where is the thermistor positioned?

Assuming you have the usual Dometic or Norcold gas/electric refrigerator:
1. make sure the RV is level.
2. make sure there is a continuous supply of 12 volts to the fridge.
3. make sure there is adequate propane supply to the fridge if running on propane or
4. make sure there is adequate 120 volts to the fridge if running on shore power
5. leave all doors closed for at least 24 hours
6. check the fridge temperature after 24 hours.

The drain is supposed to have water in it to prevent warm air from entering via the drip tray.

Are you running the refer on AC or Propane? Is it warm in the rear of the refer where the drain tube is? The refer works on percolating fluid and needs heat to operate.
