D J Dolphin 86 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 So I just got to the point on our dolphin where all the big mechanical projects are complete and am getting into the camper aspect of it all. I started the dometic fridge yesterday but it didnt seem to get cool? how long does it take? I took off the out side cover and could see the pilot light was burning... but after like 2 hrs the aluminum elemnet still wasnt cold.

Make sure the rig is level, front to back is more important than side to side. Use the freezer tray to do the initial leveling then find a spot inside the coach that corresponds to the same level so that you do not have to open the refer when leveling. It can take a while to cool down but within a few mins the freezer shelf should start to get cold to the touch. There are several good web sites on RV refrigerators so do a google search and you will get a ton of info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
