I just got back from another weekend of camping and on this trip, i noticed that my fridge basically failed at its job. I filled it with frozen water bottles before we set off and when we arrived at our site, i fired up the propane. Within the day, the fridge got to between 66-68F where it stayed for the entire weekend.
When I got home, I decided to do some testing on the fridge. I first used my compressor and cleaned out everything really well. I then hooked it up to 120V to see how cold it got. Ambient temp was around 68F. With an empty fridge, it took 1 hour and 39 minutes to get all the way down to 33F. Once it was cold, i turned off the 120V and fired up the propane. after 1 1/2 hours, it was already up to 46F and it kept climbing.
It seems like the propane just isn't cutting it, but I don't know what the problem could be. Thoughts on what could be causing my fridge to suck on propane or what i should do to diagnose/fix it?
