Absorption fridge tests and new safety device
I have been stating for YEARS that operating an absorption fridge off level of ANY AMOUNT affects the fridge in a bad way... Well, I noticed on a different RV forum that there has been some testing...

You ALWAYS level the refer, NOT the RV.
The normal operating temp is in the 300 to 350 degree area. The TRIP for the 1200 Norcold Safety recall Thermocoupler is 700 degrees. I do NOT know the trip for the Dometic disc on the burner flue cover. Leveling has to do with FLOW and condensation of the Ammonia mixture. Out of level will cause a disruption of the flow of the Ammonia mixture. NOT because of increased heat from off level. I have no opinion of if the device is good or bad, if you want one, get one.
