Lias Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 As title indicates the original igniter for the fridge in my 93 Warrior cracked and no longer works on propane. It works on electric. I've taken it in to a reputable RV shop and they contacted Dometic and the igniter is no longer made. They tried an igniter that is supposed to work but no joy. Contacted another shop and they also could not find an oem igniter. Both shops said new replacement fridges were in $1k plus not including labor to install. I'm now contemplating taking it out and using a 12v portable chest compressor fridge or compact home fridge using a separate lifepo4 battery, charge controller and inverter to power (I'm not sure how to change the whole original 12v inverter/converter to lithium). If I do the portable chest I could also use in my suv which would be a plus. Has anyone replaced with either of these options? This guy converted a chest freezer to fridge which I thought was a cool idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaySam Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I replaced the original 3-way fridge with a Iceco 12v fridge/freezer and it's been working great for 4+ years. Made and built for the abuses of riding around in a camper https://icecofreezer.com I run this off a Lithium battery and there's no need for an inverter as these fridges run on 12v. Startup it pulls a little over 5 amps drops to 3.5 while running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lias Posted October 24 Author Share Posted October 24 The 12v fridge sounds like a really good option for me too. Thanks for the reply and link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
