I want to state this again and for the last time. The refer works fine and as it should on ac and as expected on 12v. BUT not very well on propane at all. So my thought is that the installation is proper otherwise it would not cool properly on ac. It is just the propane setting that won't cool properly. Again, my 2 friends have an identical refer and one also has a Dometic but a smaller model and we have the identical problem. So something is wrong that is common to these Dometics. Also I might as well say it loud and clear now, Dometic as a manufacturer is not worth a darn and has failed to correct this problem. Dougrainer, with your 40+ years of experience I feel you can do better than tell me that the chances of the wrong sized jets being installed on all three of these refrigerators aren't logical and that Dometic is blameless. What I expected from you was what the problem with these refers are. If the refers work fine on ac and 12v but not well on propane why is it a faulty installation? These are brand new units and Dometic via repair shops has been diddling with them to a point where they gave up and told the owners that the refers were operating as expected. Come on Doug you can do better.
I can do better? Remember, you are getting what you are paying for. There are 2 things that would make LP not operate as well as 120 volt. I am not getting into jet orifice sizes. LP pressure---after all these posts, have you VERIFIED the actual LP pressure AT the refer? The other is the condition of and IF installed the LP flame baffle. If it is missing and has been burnt/corroded, it will not disburse the flame correctly to heat the flue correctly to the right BTU. Sorry, I have a life other than these forums, and I do not go back and read ALL the previous responses. I missed the fact that the refer operated on 120 correctly but not LP. No I did NOT, I TOLD you to verify the LP pressure before doing anything else. NOW, I go back and found you hijacked the original thread. CHECK THE LP PRESSURE WITH A MANOMETER. THEN POST THE RESULTS;. I AM THRU WITH YOU. Doug
