Fridge Question
In all the discussion about refrigerator, i've always taken away from the subject that it needs to be level to operate correctly. And having it running while parked and not level can damage it. Ev...

Hi Chris,
How much time does it take to install?
I wish Dometic and Norcold had this feature built in.Chris Bryant wrote:
Generally, the more level the better, but the object is to keep the boiler area of the cooling unit fed with enough ammonia solution. I was recently introduced to a new safety item which eliminates the danger of off level operation by sensing the temperature of the boiler, and through a reasonably sophisticated algorithm, shutting the power off (and restoring it). The original webite for this product is here, with a website that I did for them- gratis, because I believe in the product so much- at http://healthyrvrefrigerator.com/ (still a work in progress).
Hi Don,
Installation is pretty simple- certainly well under an hour, unless you want the display inside the coach- then it's just a matter of wire fishing. Otherwise it's just power, relay for the refrigerator power and the boiler sensor, which *can* be installed through the heating element cover- as high on the boiler as is practical.
It's a neat piece- I think he is selling them far too cheap to be honest. Eventually it will have no display or programming options and just be plug and play- now there are 2 versions, one with a header for a usb cable, the other without (though there is a space on the board for it). The data logging is interesting- we had a cooling unit out and to watch the difference in temperature at the boiler with very small changes in angle was amazing.
