Title: Refrigerator
Post by: Gary Bouland (RIP) on September 08, 2020, 06:29:54 pm
Trying to help out a new owner.
Does anyone know what model of refrigerator would have been standard equipment in a 2001 U320 ?
Need to get it going before he takes it home but seller has no knowledge of how to turn it on.
I  ASSUME that it is a Dometic and I saw that it was a double door with ice maker.
If I know the model I can search the web for operating instructions.
( I am 50 miles from the coach )

It needs 12 volts to operate preferably plugged in to power  There is If I remember right a button to push to turn it on over the top of the refrigerator door.

That's what I was thinking.  The AC power where stored is sketchy so I suggested that running it on propane would be preferable to trusting the AC.

My 2001 U320 has the same ice maker switch which powers up a Freon compressor. Condenser fan was fouled with mud dobbers nests. Freon compressor only cools ice maker tray.
