Refrigerator question????

[sandy43]

I have a new Dometic refrigerator. It works great and keeps the proper temp's as it should. I leave the RV plugged in while in storage (my barn) but, it seems to run or have a buzzing sound most of the time. It's not annoying, it just concerns me that it runs so much. Is this normal? I don't remember my other RV's doing this. Thanks

Sandy -

We have the "side vent" fridges in our Alpines. What you hear is not the fridge running, but the circulation fan running. Hey, it's Texas, it's May, and summer is here! I would bet your other fiver didn't have the fridge on a slide and had a roof vent. The circulation fan is needed because of the side vents.

There are a few of us who have modified, rather enhanced, the fridge fan. I have a post under Mods along with a couple of other members. You might like to check these mods out, especially for South Texas!

Thanks for the info. Never thought about the fan. Knew it was there, but the brains not functioning to well today. I'll check the mod's. Again thanks.
