Load up some non-perishable items like bottles of mineral water and keep the refrigerator running for three hours or more on either mains or gas. For Dometic and Thetford refrigerators, a winter cover is available to fit over the ventilator grilles. This can be used when the refrigerator is being run on gas as well as mains. However, this may not be the case with other manufacturers' covers - if in doubt consult your dealer or caravan manufacturer. The covers help to control the performance of the refrigerator in cold conditions and should ideally be fitted when the outside (ambient) temperature is below 10ºC (50ºF) for Dometic refrigerators and below 8ºC (46ºF) for Thetford refrigerators. They should be removed when not required, otherwise the performance of the refrigerator could be adversely affected, particularly in warm weather. Servicing Dealer blames Dometic, they dont reply to e mails, and cant be reached on the telephone! Great service! Bailey seems to have only just heard of problem, and are investigating.... GRRRR.

Thetford absorption fridges: the cooler choice! Dealer says they asked for 4, 2 more had broken in March. So what happened to those 2? Stony silence. Someone else who complained loudly got them I presume. And why did it take over 4 months to put in a claim? Most modern caravan refrigerators are absorption fridges with no moving parts. They use one of three power sources - a gas flame, a mains electric element or a 12-volt element from the car’s electrical system when the engine is running. The latest models have an automatic setting, which selects the most appropriate energy source. IF they arrive I will never travel with anything on the shelves. Its not worth risking them breaking again, great design Dometic!Excessive time to cool on gas and 230v at full power setting 5 even in cool ambient temperatures. Does not cool to between 0 and 4 degrees on power setting 3 or 4 at all. Temperature rises when moving from setting 3 to 5 e.g. From 2 degrees to 9 degrees over 3 hours @ 18 degree ambient. Well, after e mails to Dometic uk and Bailey I seem to be getting somewhere. I have had replies from both in a day. Having the fridge fuller or more empty makes no difference. It is not useable even on relatively cool days. Goodness knows what it will be like on sunny hot days? There are several rust removers (as opposed to rust converters) that I have used over the years restoring classic cars that are very good. One is a product made by Bilt Hamber called "De-Ox". You mix it with water and leave the parts to soak and it removes all traces of corrosion leaving them sand-blast clean. Hammerite do a similar product but I found that it needed soaking for longer. Once cleaned the rusted areas will be susceptible to future corrosion and will need protecting so a few coats of clear lacquer will re-protect everything.

After disconnecting and defrosting, clean the fridge using a soft cloth and warm (not hot), weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Finally, wipe over with a cloth and plain water and finish with a dry cloth. If something has left a strong odour in the fridge which washing alone cannot shift, try making a paste out of the bicarbonate of soda and water, and smear this in the refrigerator and leave overnight. Rinse off with warm water, clean and dry - this should cure the problem. Winter operation
