Hello all,
I am new to this forum and want to thank any and all who reply in advance. I have recently ran across a issue with a Dometic refrigerator in our 5th wheel camper. Well camping a few weeks ago, I happened to pop the refrigerator cover off the side of the camper to check to make sure everything was working and no visual issues. The refrigerator cools and does not seem to have any issues. We were dry camping so the frig was running off the propane. When I touched the gas valve, it was extremely hot! it was to the point you would not be able to keep a hand on it. This concerns me for the obvious reason that the gas line is right there. Is this common or is there a problem I need to have looked at? I have had numerous campers prior to this one, but I do not recall ever feeling the gas valve and can not compare it to previous campers. I will attempt to attach a picture as I know the style of refrigerators change. And what I'm referring to as the gas valve is the full brass piece under the black solenoid.
