Dometic freezer/fridge Eric 5-20-09  
Hello all,

I have an older 70's Dometic fridge/freezer. The fins on the back warm up but the inside does not get cold. ??? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Eric

Hello Eric;
if it has been run (unlevel) --many or the older units just quit= and there is a way to remedy this-it's called (burping) you turn off gas---disconnect and cap line---remove 115 volt plug
disconnect the 12 volt wires---mark them so they will be put back correctly
remove the reefer from where it is---turn it upside down-(24 hours) liquid amonia can be heard gurgling---after 24 hours---turn it back up right---12 hours--- try it on 115 volts---if it corrects it---you saved a bundle ( see )---(Rv maintenance and Repair Manual) about this procedure...
rich in Va...
and MAKE SURE it's level before running it..
