Freezer cold, fridge warm

Absorption frides use ONE cooling unit with TWO evap coils
Low temp Evap is for freezer
High temp Evap is for food compartment


Freezer is FIRST to get cooling effect.
The Cold ammonia vapor absorbs the heat.......freezer being first it gets the most heat absorbed so very little heat absorption is left for food compartment UNTIL freezer gets below 10*F THEN food compartment can begin getting colder cause the cold ammonia vapor has heat absorption capability.

Colder freezer gets the more heat can be absorbed in food compartment.
12 hrs for adequate cooling effect

RV level?
Critical for proper gravity flow of liquid ammonia thru absorber tubes back to boiler

And the inside of RV remaining HOT is a hindrance....especially if one keeps opening fridge doors..cold out HOT AIR IN

At 108 with a absorption fridge don't open it for a week and see if it can get down to 50 in the fridge. :) Thats hot! With that kind of heat I believe you will have a very hard time keeping the fridge at a acceptable temp. If by chance you do need a new fridge I would suggest you look seriously at a 12 volt danfoss compressor fridge. I have had a chance now to use my new one extensively and could not be happier with it. Its ice cold no matter what the temp is. JMHO

9 PM and fridge is down to 88F with camper still at 103.
So it is "cooling"
Will post what happens in the morning.
Thanks for guiding me via stressful moment.

108 in the shade. Now that's campin'!

Freezer at 24f isn't working... Should be single digit or even below zero.

Put some water bottles in both compartments and wait another 12 hours or more. Could be a malfunction from running empty.

Somebody has to be on moderators watch list. I see reply counted on main page, but not when I open the topic. It poops like 1 hr later

I hope you are right.
Camper sits in the afternoon shade with 108F around when I got freezer down to 24F.
The fridge is 95 as I keep it closed since morning.

What's the temp outside? Is it facing the sun? Propane or electric? How long since you turned it on? Give it a good day (24hours) before getting too worried.

Try a battery operated fan in fresh food section. Worked for me since '78.
