Fridge Temp Control Question
I have a Dometic S630 absorption fridge from 1991. AFAIK newer ones work the same way. Apparently the freezer cools down and then eventually the fridge cools down to its proper temp range just above freezing.
This works ok when on propane. My 120v heater is irreparable.
When I use my jury-rigged AC method powering the 12v heater with 12v (15.2v actually to get the watts needed) from a converter on its 120v input, I get 200w instead of the 300w that the 120v heater would do.
With colder ambient outside, this 200w is enough to get the freezer cold enough, and the fridge part too, but now in summer, the fridge part only gets down to about 9C, which is too high for the job. Have to go to propane to get the fridge part down to its proper range.
Is there any way to increase the amount of cooling from the freezer part down to the fridge part? ( I have the eyebrow setting on "coldest" already) If there is, I would likely need to put it back the other way for when on propane so the fridge does not freeze, but one step at a time!
Thanks.
