While you have the cover off your refrigerator, check screws holding outer frame. I have changed my screws to stainless steel. The screws had started to rust. Shine light up refrigerator chase. Look for anything that could block airflow. If refrigerator is on a slide pull top cover off and check for cobwebs at exhaust. If refrigerator is not on slide, pull cover at roof and check for cobwebs.
We've had our (new to us) RV for 7 years and only cleaned the compartment once. We did install a fiberglass screen on the inside of the fridge cover using a hot glue gun - no critters can get through and the unit works fine.
@@USS.Overlander Just get some fiberglass "cloth" that's used for window screens - rough cut it and get yer glue gun. unless you burn yourself on the hot glue its easy peasy.
My Norcold control board half quit. Worked on gas, not on electric. RUclips university to the rescue 😂 I tested it and ordered a new board. My compartment was also dirty. I vacuum it out. Haven’t messed with the burner tube, probably wouldn’t hurt to clean it. I have messed with the water heater. The propane was not mixing properly and blowing black smoke. Simply adjustment and it was fixed. It’s always something 😂
Seems obvious but it’s never crossed my mind 😬 The computer duster is a really good idea! I’m guilty of grabbing the air compressor or shop vac and this is something that you can keep in your vehicle for emergencies that takes up very little space.
@@USS.Overlander we currently have a Viair set up we keep in the tool box. It’s not permanent but for a 4Runner, it works. Our big build will totally have permanent onboard air.

Great advice! We'll be doing some roof maintenance soon, I'll be sure to pull the top cover and have a look while I'm up there!
The idea of a programme burning fridge makes total sense but is blowing my mind
The line is drawn at maintenance - I can take care of one, but I sure can't explain how fire keep beer cold...

we have a screen on our water heater vent, I'm sure it would be better to have one on the fridge compartment too!

if you're not cleaning it you're repairing it 🤣🤣

Yet another reason our dream build will have an onboard air compressor!!!
