Dometic refrigerator

[mrdonut12]

Jeff,
Thanks for the tips on the air filter and the disposable
painting coveralls.
Regarding the fridge, there's one thing your theory
doesn't cover.
He said, "There has to be a vacuum
effect taking place inside the fridge, but the
hose leading from the drip plate just below
the inside cooling fins is free and clear."
If the hose from the inside of the fridge to the outside
of the fridge is clear, how can it pull a vacuum?
I think it's sticky weather stripping. I had this happen
on the outside storage compartments of a 5th wheel.
If I spent a lot of time cleaning them, they'd release easily
for a while (until I needed to clean them again)....
