I'll have to look at my service manual again. I don't recall there being an LP filter, but I am likely wrong.
We tested at the feed line, not a test port. Again, I'll have to look at the manual to find the test port. I'm guessing that it could be possible the fridge is seeing less than the 11" at the feed line? Looking at the back of the fridge, it looked like the feed line went into the valve, then into the tstat, then to burner.
And thanks for the advise - I'll pull the baffle and brush/blow out the flue tonight (time permitting).
So far in this thread, I've been told:
A) Increased air flow via fans might help
B) Not to replace the AC element
C) Replace the whole fridge with a residential model
D) Keep my current fridge and clean it
E) Adding insulation to the sides won't hurt, but more or less probably won't help
Between Chris and I, we have at least 70 years combined experience as RV techs, so, as to that filter, yes, you are wrong. Back then they had a white filter that looked like a cotton packing inside the LP valve. That filter, I do not believe is even mentioned in any of the Service manuals. The Heating element is about $65 on line. IF the refer functions correctly, then replacing the Heat Element is a good idea. Doug
