Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I kzitem.infoUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

Studied Refrigeration Repair at Laney College in Oakland, California. One pound of R-12 would remove about 76-78 BTU's. But one pound of R-560 Anydrous Ammonia refrigerate would remove 560 BTU's. Ammonia is very toxic (poisonous) R-12 & R-138 are NOT toxic. My friend plugged in an old Servel Refrigerator (Ammonia), was making ice cubes 🧊 in 4 hours. My mom said grandma's old Servel Ammonia Refrigerator leaked and Fresno Firefighters 🚒 came to house and removed the ammonia leaking Servel. Lol 😆

Hello. my name is Curtis. I full time RV and I mostly use propane to cool my fridge but I notice on hotter days it does not stay as cool. I took it to camping world and he told me I should put a fan in the back to circulate the air better. I also don't feel like my thermostat works because no matter what I set it at the temp is the same. the same mechanic suggested I clean some contacts on the thermostat. I was wondering what you might suggest.

Mr fridge is a Dometic RM2601and both fridge and freezer quit working. When I first noticed it, I noticed an odd smell when I opened the fridge. Now that I've been looking into it, I may have been smelling ammonia. I've tried to use both electric & propane and it makes no difference. When I turn it on, it sounds like a water dripping and hitting a hot pipe. The unit under the fridge seems to get pretty hot. Any assistance would help

you need to replace the cooling unit. the ammonia smell in the fridge means the unit has rusted out, and it has failed. I have done it with mine, it's not a really easy repair, but it is possible. the cooling unit in my dometic rm760 was hard to get out, but way easy to put back in. I removed the fridge, removed the cooling unit, which meant I had to cut and remove a lot of polyurethane foam, but once I got it loose it came right out. it was $700 to replace the cooling unit, as opposed to 1800 for a fridge.

Nice vid.Hello may be someone can help me, I have an absorption fridge isn´t working and there is not service where I´m living (actually it returns from service 300 USD only the shipping and work only 3 days). After 3 hours burning with gas (no electric option), I have 374° F (190°C) at the exit from the boiler, 104° F (40° C) at the exit from the condenser, 109° F (43° C) at the absorber, but I never get cold inside. It is possible to have an obstruction at the evaporator or may be it loses the hydrogen? Something I can do? I can hear the normal bubbles when is burning. I guest is plenty of ammonia for the temps, I tried putting it downside for a night for a blocking, tanks in advance

Where 🤔 is the "Eutechtic Plate"? The RV is leveled to level the "Eutectic Plate." Cal-Poly AKA California Institute of Polytechnology in San Luis Obispo teaches "Refrigeration Engineering". On "Earth Day" the Refrigerator-engineers create "Solar-Powered" Refrigerators take the Eutectic Plate s out, paint them black, encased in clear plastic (acrylic?) and put into sunlight 😉 to drive the ammonia refrigerate to cool 😎

I got a 86 prowler that the fridge won’t work on propane or electric. Just sounds like there is a bubbling noise when you have it lit on propane. There’s no smell in the fridge so I’m assuming my unit is still sealed. Any input would be great I can not figure it out.

You can get contact cleaner / electronics cleaner at the auto parts store, or in the electrical section at your local home improvement store. Spray liberally into the the internals of the switch and then work the switch back and forth so the contacts rub on each other. If they are really bad, you might need to take 400 grit sandpaper folded up to clean between where the contacts touch by hand. Be careful not to bed the contacts!
