Hi all. Just got started in this forum and already lookin for answers. Hope this isn't a bad sign.
Went out to the motorhome today and opened the fridge. Got blasted with the dreaded ammonia smell. Well, I then hit the ole computer to see what this really means and it looks like either a new fridge or a new cooling unit at the least. At least that is what the internet says.
This brings up a couple of questions...
If I replace the cooling unit, how much work is involved? Could this be something I can do with some knowledge of mechanics? Or should I get this over to the RV repairman? Anyone out there who has done this before?
If I decide to buy a new fridge, which one is best - Dometic or Norcold? Or is this a Ford vs Chev question? I currently have a Dometic RM3800.
Just realized that there were more than a couple of questions but I guess that happens when you got more questions than answers. Anyway, hope there is someone outthere who can enlighten me.
Thanks in advance.
