Here's the situation: Dometic 'Frig in 84 Westy works on electric. Within 2 hours of connecting to electric the temp was down to 35 degrees (temp outside was in the 60s); I was unable to determine whether the fan kicked on. Fired up the propane (I always need to try two different times to get it going - maybe a magic wand would help!) - after 2, 4, 6 hours the temperature remained the same: 65 degrees. Apparently the propane is on because 1) the LED panel green light is lite and 2) the observation tube in 'frig shows a blue flame. We are prepared to remove the unit (did this two years ago and found some some crud, but not a lot), but would really appreciate any clues as to what we should be looking for - or replacing. The 'frig has worked like a charm in the past - cooling even warm cans of beer on hot days (although obviously not very quickly). Has anyone had a similiar situation? What did you replace/reconfigure? I have printed out the service manual and have stored numerous emails about fans, etc. Thanks in advance!!
