woops typo what I ment to say was replacing the fan on the back with a 12volt computer fan. I did a Google search for Thermal Mastic, and found this site, they sell tubes of the stufff for $10.00 I havn't ordered it yet, as it looks like it will be 10 times as much as I need. But I will probably go ahead and order it. http://www.rvmobile.com/PARTS/EQUIPMENT.HTM David ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vanagon" <vanagon@rex1.com> To: "David and Shirin" <daveshirin@ENERGYUNITED.NET>; <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 4:39 PM Subject: Re: colder fridge > What do you mean by, "repacing the can on the back"? > > I have done everything except that! > > Also, where did you get the replacement paste? > > Rex > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "David and Shirin" <daveshirin@ENERGYUNITED.NET> > To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> > Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 12:12 PM > Subject: colder fridge > > > I took my fridge out to clean it last week, the cumbustion chamber had lots > of rust flakes, but the fins on the back were quite clean.
