Why is my RV fridge not cooling properly?
1. Check that the fridge is level. If not level, the cooling system may not function correctly.
2. Ensure the fridge door seals are sealing properly when closed. If not sealing, cool air can escape.
3. Make sure there is proper ventilation for the fridge. Blocked vents can prevent the fridge from cooling efficiently.
4. Check that the fridge is not being opened frequently or for long periods. This allows warm air to enter and reduces cooling.
5. Inspect the fridge cooling fins and coils. If dusty or dirty, clean them to allow for proper air flow and heat exchange.
6. Verify the fridge is getting proper power. Absorption fridges require AC power or propane to operate correctly.
7. Consider defrosting the fridge if ice has accumulated. Excess ice buildup can reduce cooling performance.
8. Contact your dealer or technician if problems persist after checking these common issues. Refrigerator repairs may be needed.
