Hi: Thank you for coming to Just Answer with your question. My name is XXXXX XXXXX perhaps I can assist you with this issue.

 

What is the make and model of your fridge? The data tag should be on the inside of the box.

Customer
It is a RM2620 Dometic

Is the fridge level? Are you using AC mode or LP mode?

Customer
It is a RM2620 Dometic
LP now
And is this level? How long has it been on? And has it been working fine or is this the first time it has been on for awhile?
Customer
This is the first time we have used it and yes it is level NOW --- how long will it take to cool down and can I run the unit while towing

If it was out of level..........which should never be done as it can do some serious damage to the cooling unit.......let it sit for about 4 hours and then turn it back on again. And yes, you can use it while you are towing it. The up and down keeps the fluid from causing a blockage. They are supposed to check the LP pressure at the tank regulator as a part of predelivery, but many places don't. This is supposed to be checked at least once a year. Low LP pressure can cause poor cooling on the fridge. The fridge can take up to 6-8 hours to cool down from initial setup once it has been off for some time. These aren't like your house fridge.........no moving parts and wholly done with heat and chemicals. If you don't have a manual let me know and I can supply one for you. All follow ups are included in our fee. No limit as to time or number of responses.

Hope this proves helpful.........

Thanks for the generous bonus, Roger..............much appreciated! Please tell your friends about our service here at Just Answer. Most of the time we can get you an immediate answer and save you a bunch of $$$ besides.
