Ours ices up, but that's fairly normal for a NON-frost free refrigerator.
That's what that little drip tray is for under the coils, to catch the
drippings when that all melts. ;^) Now you know.

Subject:        Dometic Fridge Defrosting & Fuel Consumption

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the icing up problem on the
coils.  Seems to start after 2 days of use (on propane) regardless of
ambient weather conditions.  It gets worse from there, and a major
defrosting (and/or chipping away of the buildup) is required after 3-4
days.

Also wondering if propane consumption is the same (since the flame is
always on), regardless of the ambient temperatures or thermostat setting.
