Hi All,
    I see several fridge problems posted lately and have looked  for a
symptom / fix for  mine but have not seen it.  Mine, a 86 westy,  works well
on ac and battery, it doesn't cool on propane.  I took my fridge out and
cleaned the  burner and plumbing. I installed a fan inside and out, this
improved the electric modes but it doesn't cool on propane mode.   The list
taught me how  to light it with ease and my green snow flake turns on and it
generates a lot of heat, rear fan comes on and stays on in propane mode.
    One clue is it quit working in propane mode after I parked on an upgrade
at a motel. My front was about 2 feet higher than the back and it ran all
night on propane mode.  I will need propane mode at bbta coming up soon.
Please help me, I am a complete helpless  idiot when it comes to cooling by
flame and  would love to have my dometic functional. Actually when I was
very young in the 40s I had a chore of filling the kerosene fridge every
Saturday, seems it was a servel brand.  This  was before we had electricity
down on the farm.  tia
