I was wondering, I do not use propane to run my refer, electric only (most of the time)
Hi, if you read and understand the posts in this thread you'll realize that propane is not the reason for the failure. Running on propane exclusively it would be doubtful if you'd experience this failure. It would seem now from a previous post, that older units came complete with the shielding that is now offered as a
fix( in reality not a fix but a means to prevent a fire should the piping rupture from metal fatigue)
The real reason for the failure of the cooling system is the underrated 120 volt electrical heating elements. IF the measured resistance of the 120 volt element in your unit is below 40 ohms, I would replace it OR use a voltage corrective device (light dimmer rheostat) as suggested in previous posts to compensate for the overpowering of the element. In any case I'd definitely have the modification done and be thankful you haven't had a failure yet.
