Subject:Dometic Fridge question
From:Ryan Heidcamp
Date:Tue, 9 Jul 2002 11:41:52 -0500

I just received in the mail the fridge for my 85 Westy weekender.  Its the
cooler looking one that screws down to the floor behind the passenger seat.
I've been looking for this fridge since I bought my van about two years ago.

Anyway I plugged the fridge into a 110 AC outlet here at work and set the
fridge to max.  Just like the instructions say to.  Anyway, I don't here any
noise or feel any cooling.  I only left the fridge plugged in for a few
minutes.  So my question is should I hear, feel something doing something.
If so, what goes wrong with these fridges?  I'll pull it apart tonight and
dig into it with an multi meter and some 409.  Plus test the 12V side of
things.  Of course, I'm making the assumption that the 12V side of things in
my bus will work.

Thanks,
Ryan

P.S.  Its nice to be back on the email list and working on the Vanagon.  I
took a year leave from the Vanagon to build a 2001 GTI.
