After running the refrigerator on LP for 25 hours the inside temperature was about 50 degrees as evidenced by the thermometers inside the refrigerator. But, the eyebrow temperature display showed 33 degrees! The burner was on and the outside fans were running.
I'm not sure what happened during the day, but I suspect the refrigerator door may have been opened many times because my neighbor was cooking up much of the perishable food because of the high temperatures.
Tomorrow morning we're going to wire the heaters directly into the AC outlet again and monitor it throughout the day. And we might let it run that way during the night as well if he feels Ok about it.
I'll report back when we have more information.
Your main problem is, YOU HAVE TOO MANY COOKS TRYING TO WORK ON THE REFER:B You cannot do a functional correct test when you CANNOT control the environment---using the refer, having food in the refer, opening and losing the doors to get items in and out, etc. Also, is it possible you have TOO MANY items in the refer? You MUST have air space between the back bottom wall and the evap fins to allow warm air to flow up and thru the fins to remove heat. Plastic bags with food and shoving things in tightly and packed and the refer will not function correctly. YOU CANNOT DO A FUNCTION TEST WITH ITEMS IN THE REFER AND USING THE REFER. Doug
PS, from Dometic.
The temp sensor in the new generations unit with digital display shows the average temp in the refer.
If it showed the actual temp every time the customer opened the door the temp could go up to 48 to 60 degrees.
If you put the unit in the diagnostic mode it will tell you the actual temp at the thermistor.
