Why Proper Refrigerator Use is Important in an RVAn RV refrigerator is a vital component of your mobile home, allowing you to store perishables and enjoy fresh food on the road. Proper usage and maintenance can prevent malfunctions and ensure a consistent cooling performance. Here's how you can optimize the use of your RV refrigerator.
Getting Started: Key Points to Remember1. Ensure Your RV is LevelFor your RV refrigerator to function correctly, your RV must be level. If your RV is on a steep slope or unlevel ground, the refrigerator may struggle to ignite the flame needed for cooling. Always park on level ground to maintain optimal refrigerator performance.
2. Operating the RefrigeratorTurning On the Refrigerator

• Open the freezer compartment to access the control panel.
• Locate the switch and turn it on. The refrigerator will automatically enter auto mode.

Auto Mode Functionality

• On House Battery: The refrigerator runs on propane.
• On External Power or Generator: The refrigerator switches to electric power automatically.
• This automatic transfer ensures that you don't need to manually adjust settings throughout your trip.

Turning Off the Refrigerator

• To turn off the refrigerator, push the switch back to its original position, ensuring it snaps in securely.

3. Checking Power ConnectionTo verify that your RV is connected to a power source:

• Microwave Check: When you connect to an external power source or start the generator, check if the microwave is functioning. If it is, you have full power.
• Breaker Check: If the microwave isn’t working, check the breaker at your power source or the breaker box under the bed in your RV.
  • Open the breaker box and flip the breakers on and off to reset them.

4. Resetting OutletsIf an outlet in your RV is not working, you may need to reset it:

• Locate the reset button on the outlet.
• Press the button until it clicks to reset the outlet.
