Hi Roger. Bench test on 110: got down to ~ 55 F. Fins started to get cold. Ambient was low 70's F. It cooled in about an hour. Test on LP: Fridge in sun to see to test with lot's of ambient heat. Fins inside didn't get cool. Lowest refrig. tube warm-hot but not like when on 110. It was hotter on 110. Upper tube from insulation area, before thermal switch, was not even warm on LP. Was hot on 110 I tested again inside on LP. No diff. Of note: Before assembling fridge, I ran acid/water mix through jet. Washed it with water immediately. Could I have damaged jet if acid mix too strong? Neil.
