Fridge - works on AC but is 'weak'
I have a Norcold N621 (2-way) that is having trouble cooling below 40deg when on AC power. It works (not a fuse or controller issue)... just not as strong as I'd like. When I switch it back to propa...

NEVER replace a 120 element with a higher wattage element. It is NOT safe and is not needed. Nobody remembers that one cause of the Dometic cooling units failures was because Dometic installed a higher wattage Heat Element. Instead of the 325 watt they installed a 350 watt. I disagree with Chris LP versus 120. We have pretty hot temps in Texas from June to October(90 to 105). I NEVER have a problem with running and/or checking the performance of a RV refer running on 120 only. LINE voltage will make a big difference on 120 operation just as LOW LP pressure will cause poor performance on LP. The refers are designed to run equally on 120 and LP. Thgis is why it is critical for every RV'er to have and understand how to use a voltage multimeter. Always check your line voltage inside the RV. IF it is below 112 to 115, then your refer may not perform as well in 85 plus temps. Switch to LP when your line voltage drops. Doug
