Except maybe a working refrigerator :-)))) I too am not a fan of "we didn't find anything wrong". Clearly the issue is the not finding, as obviously something is wrong!

We always enjoy that problem. :)<br /><br />Are those fawns the product of more than one mother? They sure are cute.<br /><br />I'm glad you finally got the problem resolved. It was a hassle, but considering it's on a motor home, you got by cheap! I think the older refrigerators were made better. Our Norcold was less than 4 years old when it died. We had the dreaded yellow/green powdery leak which sealed it's fate. We're much happier with our residential refrigerator, but I know you need to be able to use the propane.

That was very <i><b>'cool'!</b></i> Also note that it matters which fin of the cooling fins inside the fridge that you attach the thermister to. Norcold will look this up for you and give it over the phone based on your model number. You don't have to be certified for that!

RV'ing is always a learning curve, it seems. We just had a crazy water leak (turned into a geyser inside our trailer!) and it turned out to be a simple fix, but required several days of troubleshooting and a very inconvenient trip to the RV repair shop.

The size of those holes corrode and get larger over time to the point where the air/fuel mixture isn't right. People who are normally plugged into electric don't have this problem, so it's not really very common. But us boondockers who use their fridge on propane almost all the time have to be aware of it. I'd be asking for my $40 back from that RV dealer. Their technician should have caught that.
