RV refridgeration issues


Recommended Posts

We ran the refridge on propane the whole 9 days of our trip off the grid. i unplugged the fridge from AC power so it would stay on propane. With the new sparker, it ran perfect. If that's all it takes... wonderful!! A fridge failure the year before gave us fits. I bought a spare sparker from the RV places for $27. Cheap insurance if it fails on a vacation. I have enough tools on board to change it out.

Yours is a Norcold isn't it? There should be a mode setting for LP to force it on propane. I typically leave in on LP unless I'm hooked up to AC then I use Auto so when the power drops away fridge flips to LP modes on its own.

Yes, there is a setting on the Norcoold to keep it on LP... but previously I had to shut it on/off repeatedly so just simpler (KISS!) while I was outside with the cover off to leave the AC cord unpluged. My 1000 Honda would barely run the fridge or charge the batteries (RV + scooter) but not enough power to do both so I was taking no chances. I suppose I could print out the manual.
