Frequently Asked Questions​

Common causes include poor airflow, faulty control boards, failed heating elements, propane burner issues, improper leveling, or ventilation problems behind the refrigerator.
Yes. Absorption refrigerators rely on gravity-based circulation. Operating off-level for extended periods can reduce cooling efficiency and cause internal damage.
This usually points to propane-related issues such as clogged burner jets, ignition failure, dirty burner assemblies, or gas supply problems.
Electrical issues such as a failed heating element, blown fuse, wiring fault, or control board malfunction are common causes.
Yes. Proper airflow through exterior vents is critical. Blocked or restricted vents can cause overheating and poor cooling performance.
Complete failure may result from control board issues, loss of refrigerant charge, internal blockage, prolonged off-level use, or failure of both heating sources.
No. Propane issues should be addressed promptly, as improper combustion or leaks can pose safety risks and affect other propane appliances.
Diagnostics include electrical testing, propane system checks, burner inspection, airflow evaluation, leveling verification, and control board analysis.
Yes. Electrical faults can impact 12V systems, and propane issues may affect overall gas pressure and appliance performance.
In many cases, targeted repairs are more cost-effective when the cooling unit and cabinet are still in good condition. Diagnostics help determine the best option.
Diagnostics are often completed within a few hours. Repair time depends on the issue and availability of parts such as control boards or heating elements.
Inspection is recommended annually, after long storage periods, or whenever cooling performance changes or error codes appear.

Schedule Refrigerator Diagnostics

RV refrigerators operate using complex absorption systems that rely on propane or electric heat sources. Refrigerator diagnostics and repair focuses on identifying operational faults and repairing serviceable components—without guaranteeing full cooling recovery if the cooling unit itself is damaged or the system is beyond repair.
