Why Do RV Fridges Fail?

If you are a weekend warrior or full timer, the fridge in your RV is probably one of the most important things you own. Its not just for storing food, but also your medicine and other chemicals. So, when it fails it can really mess with your lifestyle. A cooling unit that is not properly charged or that leaks ammonia can ruin your RV refrigerator. That is why JC Refrigeration makes the best rv fridge replacement cooling unit available to help you get your life back in order.

Our remanufactured cooling units are not only a much cheaper alternative to replacing your entire refrigerator, they are also designed to last longer. They are made using a heavier wall seamless tubing, with a boiler design that won’t break down from thermal stress. That means they will not crack and fail in the same way that OEM or other aftermarket refrigeration cooling units will.

We recommend doing a “dry run” of the new refrigeration cooling unit before installing it in your refrigerator. This will allow you and your helper to ensure the evaporator foam pack seats into the fridge pocket correctly. It will also give you a chance to trim any of the foam that may be interfering with proper seat.

The number one reason a refrigeration cooling unit will fail is when it is not properly charged with the correct amount of refrigerant. Many people do not know that it takes more than a quart of refrigerant to fill a refrigeration cooling unit. The other reason a refrigeration cooling unit will fail is that it is cracked and leaking ammonia. When this happens the refrigerator will stop working and emit a strong ammonia smell.
