fridge question
HI drmtnbk,
Just before last summer, I went to load up for a trip to the local beach, and as I opened up the door to the fridge, the smell of ammonia almost knocked me out. Anyway, after posting on this forum, I received great answers from all of these guys. What I discovered, was that the cooling unit leaked out all of it's ammonia. I ordered a new/rebuilt one from Wick at rvcool.com Wick was great and very helpful. I got the unit very quick and after the new install, the icebox started freezing within minutes. One of the first things that I was told was to upgrade to a dinosour control board. Fortunately the previous owner of my 93 Wilderness fifthwheel with the 13ft slide had allready done that. However before the cooling unit failed, I started to have problems with the flame staying lit, so I also changed out the thermocouple and after all was said and done, everything has worked great. I hope you get this thing fixed. Consider too, with a cost of a new fridge $800.00 to $1200, the cooling unit was around half the price of a new one. Good luck.
