Some refrigerator considerations
After replacing my dometic fridge recently I thought I would pass on a couple of issues to everyone that might be helpful.
The first photo shows how much dust and lint had built up on the bottom of the condenser over a ten year period. I didn't think to snap this picture before I ran my hand under it and removed some of the lint but if you look at the far left end that is still a fair representation of what it looked like throughout the entire length. In my opinion a pretty thick layer that would impede airflow.
Something to think about maybe cleaning once in a while...
Anyway, second picture is of the thermistor adjuster sold by Dinosaur. The new fridge works fine, but I wanted to have the option to run it colder if needed. (Only works on some models).
In the position it's set (had to be installed upside down to make it fit) my fridge temp was reduced by about 5 degrees. And that setting was only at about 25% of its range. Seems like a great inexpensive mod that works well.
