frig

we have been gone now over a week and all of a sudden my frig isn't working.  I am pretty level, checked fuse, took it off electric and onto gas, still isn't cooling.    any ideas?

Are you sure the gas burner is on?  You can see it from the inspection hole in the rear.  If the burner is on, you'll feel the warmth on the area above the burner.  As for the electric, you can check the heating elements with an ohm meter for continuity and also measure the applied voltage to see if you are getting power.

Thanks, I think it is finally starting to cool on gas.  I can see the flame in the little viewing window.   It's really hot here (Minnesota), so maybe that is part of it?  although the AC is running. I'll have to have the electric part checked when we get home.  Which wont be for another 3 weeks.  thanks again

When the outside temperature climbs, it will be more difficult for your fridge to keep cool.  I mounted a small fan inside the side access door to blow air up over the coils.  More airflow will make the coils cool a little better. I plug in the fan to the AC outlet that's right there.  The fan only works when pluged into shore power, but otherwise, it would drain the house battery anyway.
