[VAC] Re: Refrigerator work



Erik,
  That heater should cycle on and off when the thermostat calls for 
"cool" or "enough cool". If it's making ice in the main compartment, 
it's definitely "enough cool" and the 'stat should cycle the heater off 
for a while. (note that the gas burner does NOT cycle, but modulates up 
and down, depending on the amount of cooling required)

The only reason the thing wouldn't cool as well as it once did is if it 
was operated off-level. That causes cumulative damage each time it happens.

about RV refrigeration.
