Mr. Bryant, great to hear from you and I appreciate the help you gave me earlier.
The filter is the tiny one (approximately a ¼ inch) that sits just in front of the gas valve inlet. We did not clean it; however, it was very white with little dirt on it. In one of our testing procedures, we tried the refrigerator with the gas filter removed from the gas valve but it did not make any difference.
We went to an LP dealer (not an RV dealer) and he raised our pressure from 9” wc to 11” wc . He had an adapter that he inserted between the gas outlet and the refrigerator gas valve. He did the test while the refrigerator was on gas, on high. No other appliances in the camper were operating at that time. We only have a 3 burner stove and furnace in our truck camper pop up. After raising the water column, we did get 10 degrees cooler in the refrigerator. The refrigerator use to cool down to only 60 degrees and now it cools down to 50 degrees. The outside temperature is 80 degrees today. The LP dealer did not have any suggestions on what our problem could be.
I called Dometic and asked them if we had a gas bypass screw on our unit and they told me we did not.
We tried tapping on the gas valve and that did not help however, we do appreciate any ideas.
