Low Ambient Heater is for 'cold/freezing' camping
It is a heated wire that is thread up/attached to cooling coils to keep the 'coolant' warm so fridge will operate in sub 32*F temps
The .3 in your model (N641.3R) indicates a DC Heater (30A)
The 'R'-----haven't a clue
Well ... how often are the interiors of RVs at those low temperatures such that their absorption refrigerators are also exposed to those kind of low interior temperatures surrounding them?
I have a good old Norcold 611 in our Class C and it even helps to keep the cabinet around itself warm from to it's system electric or propane heaters whenever it is cycling/operating.
I can see an absorption refrigerator having problems operating in cold temperatures in, say, a shed out in the backyard in winter ... but inside an RV that is normally kept warm enough for us humans?
