AMISH RV Absorption Fridge Replacement Cooling Units-AND TIPS-Make Your Fridge Run Colder
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июн 2023
- Our RV Absorption refrigerator died and was leaking ammonia. I’m going to replace the cooling unit with a Amish cooling unit. I’m also going to cover some important tips on how to make an absorption refrigerator operate better and keep your food cold.
There are several DYI upgrades you can do to a RV absorption refrigerator to make it operate a whole lot better. Good air circulation by installing 12V fans is at the top of the list. Then blocking off the baffle/open areas that trap hot air is the other main thing to do to really help the fridge perform at it’s best.
If you have an RV absorption refrigerator and you smell ammonia at the back of the fridge, it’s dead and that ammonia can start a fire. Turn the fridge off and don’t use it again. You have to replace the cooling unit or replace the whole fridge with a new one. A new fridge will cost around $800 - $1,000 more than just replacing the cooling unit.

Another awesome video as always. So detailed and helpful. Thanks Joanie for keeping these videos coming. The amount of people both of you have helped in the RV community cannot be measured or repaid. The amount of times Martin's how to/how he did it has made RV'ing that much easier and cheaper.
Thank you so much!

🇳🇿🇨🇦
My heart is broken to say the very least but I am doing ok overall. He was and always will be the love of my life.
I really like this video! It is very informative and very helpful for most people with RVs. I am doing this to My RV this week. I want mine to last a long time and this is a great way to prolong the life of Your Fridge. The Fans and circulation are very important for great airflow. Thank you Joanie so much for posting this video! Every time I work on my RV I always think of Martin. God bless his soul and may God continue to bless you as you continue Your Journey. Please stay safe and healthy and God bless.🙏🏻👍🌹
Well damn…just learned the news. Very sorry for your loss! Thank you for all you and Martin did for the RV community!
I had a comment on here but then read other people’s comments. OMG I’m so sorry for your loss. Martin was such a great teacher. I had no idea… I’ve been watching his videos for a couple years now and have learned so much. The whole world is missing a great man.
Oh Joanie, we are so sorry for your loss. We’ve been on the road since March and have not really checked the channel. We just got back to RGV( thanks to you guys we found our way here a year ago and consider this our home. Thank you). I went on your site to catch up and cried when I heard Martin had passed. I have always felt a kindred spirit with him. He was so caring, helpful and honest with all of us and I know we all appreciate him and you for keeping him and his helpful videos and spirit alive. Again, so sorry and since we are here in the valley for the season, if you need help or anything please reach out to us. We are eternally grateful to you both.
This video is great! So sorry to hear he's no longer with us; what a loss. I learned so much over the years about RVing, plus things helpful for other projects. Just so detailed, well thought through and thorough. Joanie, your contributions to his work have obviously been really substantial and very well done. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Hello Joanie, i hope youre doing well.

God bless you, Joanie. At the age of 58, I am a new RVer. Your site is my favorite. I logged on here to comment for the first time ever just to sadly read the news that Martin has passed. As a widow of a marine corps veteran killed in Iraq 19 years ago when our children were 3, 5 & 9, I deeply sympathize with your loss. My prayers and love are with you. Martin's legacy of helping us with our rv journeys are so incredibly appreciated. I will continue to enjoy learning from Martin as we watch as many of your videos as possible. Thank you for continuing to post and allowing us the privilege to watch your page for our help. Brenda Z.
Thank you so much for your support. You can do this and Martin would be proud of you for jumping in and living your dream.
Commenting for Joanie!
So sorry to hear about Martin. Just realized last week that he had cancer. I was watching videos up to date. Thanx for keeping up his videos. He will truly be missed!
What can I say, Martin is in a better place now. The RV Street video collection will live on and continue to help the RV community. The M&M’s Love You.
You guys have been there from the very start and I will always cherish our friendship.
So sorry to hear about Martin's passing! I have been watching his videos nearly non-stop the past several days since we are about to pickup our first Class A RV this coming weekend. What a talented person he is. I'm thankful that his expertise is here to share...
Please continue to watch the videos to help Joanie out and spread the word.
Thank you so much for saying that. 💕
Joanie, my prayers are with you. Martin will be missed.
We are sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing the videos.
Thank You Joanie It reminds me how lucky we were to meet Martin thru this videos
So sorry to hear about Martin. I learned so much from him. Joanie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Please keep the channel going even if you have to loop all the old videos.
Another quality video. I still go back into some of the videos for some of Martins tech stuff. Very professional.
Thank you Joanie. I think of you and Martin often.
Thank you for keeping Martins expertise going. I am sure he is smiling from above ❤
I learned so much from Martin. He will be missed for sure
Thanks, Joanie! I hope you're doing well. I learn more from these RVStreet videos than from the manuals!
Yippee, I've missed Martin and Joanie!!! I love you guys for All of your videos and the content and time you have dedicated to us
Thank you Joanie for keeping the channel going! We have learned so much from Martin! 🙏🏻
Our condolences to you and your family...He will be truly missed..😢
Deepest condolences. I hadn't heard. He was such a wonderful source of rv knowledge. I learned a so much from him, as did everyone. Had y'all in my prayers, and will continue to pray for you.
Thank you so much for your kind words.I miss him so much and my heart is broken.
New viewer. Sorry for your loss. Thank you for this video!!
Thanks Joanie for keeping Martin in the best videos ever.
I will always keep the videos up. I have found myself referring to them several times.
Joanie, thanks for posting. My condolences and I pray that you will remember all the good times you had with Martin. I’ll miss Martin’s videos. He was a very smart craftsman who looked at RV maintenance and upgrades with years of mechanical experience.
Always looking out for his viewers, so appreciated, thanks Joanie ❤
That was cool. Very detailed love it. You're Still in my prayers
Thank you so much 🤗
I decided I better let y'all know but other than blowing a likely spider egg Sac out of my tiny little exhaust tube I've never had any trouble or done any upgrades to my Dometic Royale rm3801 I did buy a control board for it and blew out that timing exhaust and the interior works just fine with natural air movement it's simply takes a little bit longer to cool things off maybe but I live in this RV 24/7 and that refrigerator keeps up with me one person beautifully. And I love my super cold drinks. I would say Z main thing to know is to keep the fans in the refrigerator from completely holding Frozen liquid it might should freeze a hair here and there but slide off on and off cycle and you'll not have to defrost it much at all. And it's on the firing line we're still hits 32 or 31 occasionally
Thanks for the important information! Martin knew his stuff!
So sorry to hear. Prayers sent 🙏
So sorry to hear about Martins passing. May he rest in peace! We lost a good person and teacher, not to mention a teacher of perseverance and hard work, especially working through his illness!
Thank u joanie for sharing your angel Martin. Blessings always
I am so sorry to learn that Martin has passed. I just learned this today from these comments. I am a relatively new RVer (2 years), but I learned a tremendous amount from him. This vid may be his best for me. I have had a problem with my Norcold since day 1. Upon Martin's endorsement, I contacted JC Refrigeration in the past couple of days, and they confirmed for me that my N8X is a piece of junk that the manufacturer should never have sold me. I have an appointment next week at JC to switch out the cooling unit. I am looking forward to a refrigerator that actually works. Many thanks. A thousand stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was a great decision on Martins part because the refrigerator is working better than it ever has before.
So I started watching this and honestly I was thinking here we go another RV guy waisting my time. WOW was I wrong, love it when someone knows what they are talking about. I actually saved this channel to my list and learned a few things. Afterwards I even looked on the Amazon store you have... Thanks again for doing this for people..
So glad you found this helpful and subscribing to our channel. 👍
Didn't know Martin passed.....I'm just sick ! as a new rv'er a couple of years ago he was my teacher...RIP
Thanks Marty. Very grateful for your videos. Thank you Joanie
Thanks for watching!
❤Condolences , Martin was special to us all
As always, Martin and Joanie don't disappoint! Amazing video! Thank you so much for taking the time once again to do another outstanding video! Please update us on Martin. I've been praying for him. god bless!
I'm so sad to say that Martin has passed away a few months ago.💔
This rings so close to home. Five years ago I lost a very good friend, former boss at the Sheriff's Dept to multiple cancers. Larry was in his early 60's, great health, walked 5 miles everyday and then all of a sudden he developed multiple cancers. He too was a Viet Nam Vet., served in the Marines. His cancers were attributed to Agent Orange. Larry said there were several times they were soaked in the crap.
God Bless Martin, Larry and all their Marine Brothers and Sisters. Semper Fidelis
💔😢
Thanks Joanie, appreciated.
Thanks Joanie for continuing these vedios...hope your doing well ..
I am doing ok. Martin was the love of my life and I will forever miss him.
@@RVstreet you two were so good together to watch on your vedios... he was so lucky to have you and you him... god bless and you will be forever in my prayers..
I am so sorry to hear Martin passed, I was so hoping to meet him on the road someday. This is very sad, when did he die? I hope it was peacefully. I truly miss him and didn’t even get to meet him. RIP Martin
Martin passed away April 2nd after a short battle with cancer. He was in a lot of pain so I am glad the good lord so fit to end his suffering quickly. Martin was the love of my life and I am heartbroken to say the very least. 💔
@@RVstreet Thank god it was a short battle. I’ll pray for you and am sorry for loss. I was hoping for a better turnout, but god has a plan for us all. Thank you Joanie.
💐My Condolences Joanie for the loss of Martin💐
Just now found out. When I need information I watch Martin & Your videos. I’m new at RVing
💐🙏RIP Martin🙏💐
Subscribed at least 5 years ago! You helped us fix up our Winnebago exterior paint. Good wishes to y’all!
Love it great video
you will all be missed
God bless
We have been sidetracked and have not been out in the motorhome for a few months but have been thinking a lot about Martin and wondering how he was doing. I decided to come back to his site tonight to check up on him and I was completely saddened to hear of his loss. Sending hugs and sympathy to Joanie and family. My husband and I are truly sorry for your great loss. Martin was a remarkable man. We learned so much from his videos. We would binge watch video after video, taking in all of the fantastic information he provided. We were always amazed by the care he took of his own RV. We consider ourselves pretty on top of things and take great care of our motorhome but I have to say I don't think anyone could keep up with Martin's care. He showed us things we never even thought of. Everything was always perfect and immaculate. We will never forget Martin. He had a way about him that made you like him from the minute you watched his videos. Hard to believe that just watching someone regularly on You Tube that you could really feel that you got to know him.. Joanie, we buy a lot of items on Amazon and as soon as I figure out how to do it I will buy everything through your store. I had completely forgotten that we could do that. I hope this helps you at least in some way. If there is anything else at all that we can do please let us know here. Thank you for sharing more video's and continuing to communicate with everyone here. My heart breaks for you. Our thoughts and prayers will always be with you and your family.
Thank you so much for the wonderful post. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him a million times, he was the light in my life and best friend. I will alwasy keep the videos up because I even find myself referring to the on several occasions.
Very informative video! Thanks Martin!
Martin passed away. His wife Joanie is posting his past vids.
@@vernonsteinkamp1088 I’m aware.
Joanie, I'm so very sorry. I didn't know. God Bless you. Sending you lots of love and prayers
Thank you so much♥️
@@RVstreet is there away to contact you privately?
So heart broken learning Martin has left us. My condolences and prayers for you.
Miss you man. Thank you for sharing this Joanie, he’s always my go to for RV info
nice to way to look at things I Bought a regular house fridge that fits in the sport that a propane Fridge used to fit. I will later have a nice 12 volt system with solar on top of my camper to keep the fridge on if I have anything in it. But for the most part it will be empty if not in use. But when travelling I need to keep it on. I will be Upgrading from the Lead acid battery to a Lithium battery and put an inverter just for the fridge.
My grandparent's GE propane refrigerator is still working and it is well over 75 years.
Bless you Martin and Joni. I'm heartbroken as well. I never got to meet him but I sure will miss him. I pray the Lord gives you peace.
So sorry to hear of Martin's passing. Feels like I've lost friend. Condolences to his loved ones.
I use a double D battery fan for refrigerators . And has had no known problems since the beginning 2016
great video
Great Video
Always enjoyed the videos. Thanks
Thank you for all master classes I have learned so much and make things so easy to follow . I do have a problem with my in dash back up camera any plans on educating us on in dashboard power sources, like fuses
I am sad to say Martin has recently passed away. I wish I could help you with your problem but I have no knowledge in that area.
@@RVstreet Joanie I am so sorry I hadn’t heard that Martin was called home. I truly enjoyed and appreciated everything you guys did for us. I’m lost for words I will pray for you for strength. Thank you for sharing your amazing husband with us
Miss his videos. Hope all is well Joanie.
I am doing ok. Thank you for asking ♥️
Whoever gets that Rv has gotten themselves the cream of the crop. Happy for them and jealous too 🤣🤣
I THINK IN THEIR ORIGINAL DESIGN THEY DIDN'T PLAN ON HAVING ANY FANS AT ALL THEY WERE JUST DEPENDING ON THAT EXTRA SPACE SO YOU NEED TO SAY THAT IN YOUR SYSTEM WHERE YOU ARE FORCING ARE YOU NEED TO DO THIS BUT IF YOU'RE JUST DRIFTING AIR
great ideas...thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
I will say well it's next to my last post that I run it on 120 at all times and 12:00 seemed it needed a bigger element which I got but haven't ever tried the propane works perfectly but it's possible I could use interior fans with propane use.
Glad to find this video our old Chinook motor home had no problem but the grate acces door was 2x2 but the new one Iis like yours so if it gives me problems I know what to do
Glad it helped
This guy is great!
hmm i bought one of those cheap 54 quart top loading 12v fridges on walmart for 99$. i coated the outside of it with aluminum foil tape and then the inside with copper foil tape. just to reflect all the emissised heat from the environment. set it at 34F and it is literally using 4 watts/hr inside now. thermal emissivity is a very poorly understood component of fridges yo
i also coated the outside of the hot end condenser compartment with black duck tape to help it flick the heat away
i can tell the back side of ur new unit is doing a similar approach with the aluminum/metal foil. might be worth having the front of the unit be white or some kind of metal. stainless steel is actually really good coz it uniquely has low thermal emissivity and not super low specific heat (less convection loss)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the RV community.
Hey bud I’ve got a propane Treger fridge at my off grid cabin it was in the cabin when I bought the place I thinks it’s made in Spain but here’s the issue it will light but goes out when I realease the button sounds like a bad thermocouple now there is a little black box that holds aa batteries for the little lights inside but there is a 3rd wire going somewhere lol could this be my milliamp power source to the ignition switch? Any help would be greatly appreciated I have a book but it’s in another language imagine that I’ve god another thermocouple if needed thanks a bunch your way way more knowledgeable than anyone else I’ve listened to thanks Eric 👍
I'm sad to say that Martin has passed away and I don't have the answer to your question. Sorry
I hate that he passed away he seemed to love traveling and depending on no one now he’s got Jesus and and an eternity in peace 🙏🏻
Joanie, I am looking for the black gloves Martin used. It's been hard to find Xlarge for Dean and one that won't fall apart
I wish I could help you with that but I used the last of them a couple of weeks ago and don't remember the brand. I am certain they were a mechanics glove
I live here and deliver cardboard to JC Refrigeration!
