Thanks. This system (ammonia/hydrogen/H2O continuous absorption type) is not
like a regular freon/compressor type refrigerator, so I will be very excited
to hear if you've found someone who can recharge it. My initial question
still remains unanswered, however: How can the thing make ice on 110AC and
barely function on propane, when the propane burner system is performing as
well as the AC heater element?

  Hi,
  I have recently tested the fridge in a 87 Westfalia, using up a tankful of
  propane. Did the burn chamber service, cleaned nozzle, replaced fan. Still
  won't get cold.
  I have concluded that the unit needs to be recharged. There just happens
to
  be a place 40 miles from here that recharges fridges.
  So, it may be what you need to do also. Changing the pressure WC did
nothing.

  Hope you can find a place to fix it.
