get those fans working, you have to remove that hot air.
Completely understand, but we are baffled as to why they aren't working when we are using LP, but apparently are when on shore power.
You are POSITIVE they work on 120 volt cooling operation? The 2 fans are 12 volt as well as the Fan temp disc, that turns the fans on and off. So, if they work on 120 heat element, they should work on LP. Good news is from your description the refer is in a slide room. That gives you some access to the top rear condensor fins where the fan tstat is located. You will see 2 wires going to this 1 inch disc. disconnect those 2 wires and jump together until you can get the system fixed. The fans will run 24/7, which is not a bad thing. Also, I would install a baffle at the top access door to help move the hot air out thru the door instead of the hot air hitting the ceiling on the refer box and THEN going out. Refers in slide rooms need this type of modification to get the refer to operate at peak efficiency. OEM's rarely do that. Doug
