Fridge cooling unit forming crystals-help!
BLUF - How do I keep fridge cooling unit from forming crystals?
We spend most of the year work camping. We spend five months in one location, then take a month of traveling to the next location. Our Norcold 1200 fridge has been having cooling problems. We had a technician look at it and was told the cooling unit was blocked with crystals and would eventually need to be replaced. The tech even went so far as to suggest banging on the canister to loosen the crystals.
We have started our move to the next locale and it seems the crystals have broken loose again. The fridge now works great. So good, I had to turn it down because it’s getting too cold.
So, once we get to our work location, how do I keep it from getting blocked again? Should I bang on the canister once a week, or just when it stops cooling again? Eventually, when funds become available, it will be replaced. But until then...
