Question ... Is it more important for an rv fridge to be level front to back of fridge or l to r? Or both?
LEVEL IS LEVEL Fore or Aft or L to R…
As you face the fridge door the most important would be L to R…
But level is level the same today as it was years ago… and running a fridge out of level today can be just as damaging is it was before…
The only difference between the old style and the new style fridge is they moved the perk tube to the inside of the boiler… this slows down the damaging effect and crystallization of the solution and with a little LUCK will prevent most of the crystallization that is cumulative in nature and permanent…
IMO this has only changed the risk to new and different risk… it reduced the risk of overheating the fluid in the perk tube but allows the boiler and tubing itself to get hotter and fail… fail in the area of the heat source raising the risk of fires…
While I don’t have the evidence, the labs, or the resources to prove that, I think the 7 or 8 plus million recalled and the many re- recalled (new style) cooling units that pose a fire risk give cause to question the idea… worse yet the second and third generation recalls just lock the cooling unit out to prevent it from being used says they don’t know how to fix it…
There are three requirements for the proper and safe operation of a absorption fridge and they haven’t changed and are just as important today as they ever were…
THREE REQUIREMENTS - FOR PROPER OPERATION
1. Level
2. Air Flow (Good Ventilation)
3. Heat (Precise heat)
