Plastic inside fridge starting to yellow

[et2]

Out rig isn't even a year old and there's spots where yellowing is starting inside the fridge. It wasn't this way when we winterized it. None of the rigs we've owned ever did this.

It's a side by side with freezer on the bottom. Cooling was shut down when we winterized. The only issue I see is I can't prop the doors open as the lights inside still stay on, even though cooling is shut off. Maybe this is the problem?

Anyone else have the same issue. Has anyone found anything to remove them. A quick wipe with water failed so I know it's discoloration of the plastic.

thanks

Try L.A. Totally Awesome found at the Dollar Store or Dollar Tree(sometimes Walmart). Takes the yellow off a lot of things...hope it works for you.

Thanks, Doug.

Suspect that is exactly what is going on.

So, 120 VAC breaker it is!

Possibly, but it's a breaker on my RR. In any case one or the other will turn off the light. 😉

I can't help you with the stains, but the next time you need to completely shut down the fridge you can turn off the breaker.

A cleaner with bleach might help.

But you NEED to find a way to kill the power to those lights so you can ventilate it during storage.....or a little yellowing might be the least of your worries. Other colors might appear. And your batteries might suffer, unless you leave it plugged in, of course.

Then again, there might not be anything you can really do because of the type of plastic used. The plastics on the outside of my C yellowed badly; most noticeable was the rear view mirrors.

Except for venting, you might just have to live with it.
