1. They do NOT wear out. There are no moving parts to wear out. What you have is a partially (or fully ) blocked cooling unit. This is from years of those times you parked unlevel. It accumilates
2. If you have the EG2/3 series that puts the refer over 25 years old. Have you had the recall from 20 years ago done? Regardless, on a refer more than 25 years old, it is better to replace it, not repair it.
3. Go 2 way. The 3rd way is a 12 volt heating element and it is ONLY for keeping the existing cold when in transit. You never use the 12 volt when camping. 12 volt will not cool down the refer. Doug
