[VAC] Re: Airstream Refrigerator Removal, Burping, and Probable Replacement



Hi Harvey,
        A couple of things- if "burping" does help, the fix will be temporary- I would go ahead and bite the bullet and replace it. Second- the only real way to tell if the cooling unit is good is to "hot wire" it- check the heating element for proper resistance, and hook the element straight to 120 volt ac. I cannot remember which model you have, but I'm betting it is an "automatic" one, which will require 12 volt DC to operate.

        I actually have a beginning of a troubleshooting page up at http://www.bryantrv.com/reefer.html
