Re: [SilverStreak] Dometic fridge

["waymark1@xxxxxxxx" <waymark1@xxxxxxxx>]

Have you cleaned the flue and burner? Made a lot of difference on our '79 Dometic RM100 manual 
12V/120V/LP. It's back to keeping ice cream hard even on 12V. Have to be careful to keep from 
freezing everything in the ref. compartment. Dumped a pile of rust out of the burner tube. The 
flue was hardly even sooty at all.
The orifice of the refrig. is by far the smallest on your trailer. It probably is ruby, rifled 
for swirl of the LP for good mixing with the air. A really teeny spider gossamer can cut way 
down on the BTUs while allowing the burner to light and stay lit - just won't put out enough to 
keep the refrig. cold. Soak the orifice in the strongest alcohol you can find - I get 91% and 
99% isopropanol at the drugstore. DO NOT blow the orifice out with compressed air - it can 
dislodge never to be seen again. DO NOT stick any wire, drill, anything in the orifice.

If you really want a late model electronic fridge, go ahead. But first find out if there are any 
recalls and if there was a recall, has this fridge been done? Dometic and Norcold have had a rash 
of failures.
