We have a similar problem with our Norcold. Works fine on A/C. Propane flame fires up and is nice and blue, but the refrigerator and freezer do not maintain the cold temperatures attained from A/C use. Ice and cold stuff is already in there, but no cold is happening from the propane option.
Anyone with comments from similar experiences and solutions are much appreciated. Especially solutions. And, no, please don't say, "Get a residential refrigerator." I am looking to the incredible number of experienced RV's out there to point out something that I may be missing. Your help is much appreciated!
If it cools correctly on 120 and not on LP, there are only 3 problems it can be.
1. LP pressure is low
2. The orifice/burner is slightly clogged and needs cleaned
3. IF the cooling unit has been replaced, there is a Spiral Baffle in the chimney right above the flame that dispurses the heat evenly to heat. IF that Spiral is gone or rusted out and destroyed, the unit will NOT cool on LP correctly. You have to pull the refer to verify this. Doug
