frig freezing most stuff

[Curt Sprenger]

Rose Mary,

I hope this helps...The problem you are experiencing could be the same as
our experience a few months ago. Our frig. thermostat was set to "less"
cooling and the too cold/freezing continued. The end result was a bad
electronic board. The thermoelectric Solenoid Valve control on the board
allowed the gas valve to remain open along with the electric function,
giving dual cooling. So turning down the thermostat was overridden by the
gas being on when is should have been off. Installed a new board and all is
well.

To get around the dual cooling (gas with elec.), when plugged into shore
power, I turned the gas off at the back side of the frig. until I had time
to get back to the issue. With the gas turned off, the elec. continued to
function as it should, and the freezing stopped.

Good luck.

We'll see you and mom at Q 2008. Should be a great party. At Q 2008, do you
want to park facing east, same as last year?

If all goes as planned, I'm hoping to arrive at Q before noon Friday, Jan.
18. Hopefully the SWBB scouts will have good luck picking a large area for
50+ RVs to circle and we can start circling the wagons.

Happy New Year.
