More interesting developments on the famous Dometic  fridge
problem............Last night around 10 pm we were told we had to be  disconnected form the 110
line we were sharing with our neighbours as the main  line could not support
us both, seems their fridge operation was more  important than ours !
So.......I start the propane service and go to bed  suspecting the fridge will be
quite warm by morning.  Well, surprise,  surprise, When I check the fridge at 6
am it's at 4 ~ 5 degrees and fins are all  frosted over !  Miracle of miracles
the damn thing just decided on it's own  to work again.  No rhyme or reason.
Vent temperature to the feel of  my hand is the same as it's been when it was
not working, quite hot  !   So.....now what ?  Well, I was gonna pull it out
today to  have a look but guess I'll leave it be and see how long it keeps on
working.  Fun in the sun in Sayulita, Mexico !  Things could be worse  !
