Hi; I have some questions about Dometic fridges:

I have a remote temp sensor in the fridge a have been monitoring the
action on a household thermometer which has a memory function that
allows you to check min and max temps since the last time you reset the
memory.

1)      What is the usual range of interior temp with the setting on coldest
and the fridge running on propane?

It seems that my fridge will cycle through a range of  about 15 degrees
(F) from coldest  to warmest during the cooling cycle.

It also seems that there is a time just before the temperature begins
to drop that the temperature rises rapidly, almost as if the fridge is
heating the interior rather than cooling.

2)      What is the effect of turning on the 12 volt or 120 volt switch
without turning off the gas? I have noted that the heat led got
brighter (indicating more heat I think) but I chickened out on leaving
both heat sources on simultaneously fearing that I might damage
something.

Thanks
Ian
