I need to clean the gas nozzle for the refrig. I do not know how it comes apart to clean the nozzle or what ever. It does not cool well enough on gas to keep the refrig. cold. It works real good on AC.

Thanks

I would not do that. Having had lots of gas fridges generally speaking
either the venting is not good or your gas pressure is not correct. You run
a risk of damaging the orifice on the burner if you attempt to clean it. The
burner puts out a very very small flame. I would go to a propane place and
get them to check the gas pressure first and then look for some obvious
venting issues.


Thanks,

I'm with Gary on this have the regulator checked first.
I replaced ours at the same time we replaced the valve on the tank.
Have the shop do it for you.
Unless you have a Gorilla handy.

I remove the nozzle and cleaned it. It was easy to do. It was to dark to do a leak check but I will tomorrow to verify the connection. There is no gas pressure on the connection except when the refrig turns on the gas to heat the element.

Thanks

Art,

Let us know if cleaning the nozzle helps. My Dometic is acting the same way.
