Refrigerator issues.

GREAT news on the refrigerator front.  After hours and days of fiddling around with the 1962 Dometic refrigerator it is finally working!  Derald had done everything short of turning that baby upside down, and she came alive last night.  He said it was a combination of venting, leveling, FLAME control (and a few of my prayers thrown in).  Derald has done some amazing magical transformations on that unit.  I am so very pleased it's a keeper and working better than we imagined.  Now if it will only freeze his ice cream.....maybe that is asking too much!  If you want information on this transformation, I have posted lots of photos of the interior repairs.
Oh, and to ice the cake on this old gal, after running 30 hours, she shuts down in a DEFROST mode for 30 minutes.  No kidding.

  1. That IS great news. I'm embarking upon a refurbishment of a 1962 Safari as well and am hoping to preserve the original pink Dometic fridge. Were you able to locate any product manuals?
