Sorry, gocamp, we stopped looking at the Escape Forum for the most part, and I didn't see your question. Our 5 cf refrigerator never died as such, but we continued to have the same problem that...

Yes, I posted our story so that others will be aware of monitoring their refrigerators, particularly the Dometic 5 cf model when used in the Escape 19.

We started this thread back in July, 2012, telling how our refrigerator (Dometic 5 cf in an Escape 19) was not cooling during drives, but worked fine when parked. Since that post we took another...

Re: Refrigerator not cooling on the road

Was the 44 degrees while sitting still before the drive, and the 58+ immediately after highway miles? Was it really hot outside? --Liz & Jay

Re: Refrigerator not cooling on the road
