Subject: Re: Dometic refrigerator cooling mystery, '89 Westy

 >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.

I have no answer to the question of why the unit will not cool on propane
when it does quite well on 120vac and the heat seems to be getting to the
cooling unit equally in both situations.

However, I am aware of 2 companies which rebuild ammonia refrigerators.  One
is ATCO in Philomath, Oregon (800) 227-3180 or (541) 929-2820 and the other
is Cool-Fun in Irwindale, Calif. (818) 960-5456

These numbers are several years old, so you may have to do some chasing down
if area codes have changed.  This should be a good starting point for
someone who needs a rebuild.
