Fridge operation when not level
We are nose high on our site. Set up in the dark on a downhill site. Does the fridge have problems cooling only on lp if the site is not level, or if hooked up to shore power as well? Will try to ge...

Off level causes OVERHEATING due to lack of gravity low of coolant
Sodium chromate (anti-rust inhibitor in the coolant solution) will crystallize when overheating occurs.
The crystals plate out on the inside of cooling unit tubing......permanently.
Bouncing down the road will NOT cause them to go back into solution....done is done
Operating while in transit does not cause this issue of overheating cause the coolant flow is in constant motion from the rock/roll/bounce of the RV.
20 minutes of off level operation (stationary) where the coolant gravity flow is disrupted is enough to cause the crystals to form.
Damage is accumulative over time
