----------------------------------<snip>---------------------- If it won't work on 110V, it's almost a hopeless case, I'm afraid. I've heard that some people have had some success reviving their reefers by turning them upside down for a while, but I'm skeptical. I think this belongs in the "urban-legend" category, that seemingly miraculous refrigerator healings that have apparently occurred as a result of this technique may be attributed to other causes. But hey - whatever works! Never underestimate the placebo effect. Coby Smolens ----------------<snip>-------------------- Coby, I have actually done this myself on my 10 year old Dometic RV refrigerator. It works. Not always. But if the problem is amenable to this fix it works. What happens is that some crystals get built up in the plumbing preventing the fluid from draining downhill as it should. Turning the box upside down and back several times can often dislodge the problem and get things movin' again. If 'dat don't work, call Cool-Fun at 818-960-5456 in Irwindale, Ca. They rebuild boxes and maybe able to rebuild yours if you can't find any better solutions. Scott |
