Volks, Although I'd like to replace my the Dometic RM182B Fridge with one of the cool 2-way fridges like Karl and others have installed, current budget constraints don't allow for it. So I'd like to service the stock fridge and improve it as much as possible. The fridge got to a point of significant inefficiency. - Flame kept blowing out - Inside temps not adequate - Difficult lighting on LP Current plan; 1) clean everything (fins & burner) 2) burp for 48 hrs (upside down) 3) replace stock fan with computer cpu variety (not clear if a computer fan has more air flow than the stock fan) 4) knock out city water connection and install 2nd computer cpu fan to exhaust hot air to the outside. I found the following square computer cpu fans .... any recommendations?
80mm (3.14961) / 32.5 CFM / .14amps / 28 DBA 92mm (3.62205 inches) / 48.2 CFM / .25 amps / 35 DBA 120mm (4.72441 Inches) / 54.5 CFM / .26 amps / 27 DBA Are there other modifications I should consider? Also was wondering if anyone managed to squeeze a little extra insulation between the "side of the fridge" and cabinet?
