Our RV Absorption refrigerator died and was leaking ammonia. I’m going to replace the cooling unit with a Amish cooling unit. I’m also going to cover some important tips on how to make an absorption refrigerator operate better and keep your food cold.

There are several DYI upgrades you can do to a RV absorption refrigerator to make it operate a whole lot better. Good air circulation by installing 12V fans is at the top of the list. Then blocking off the baffle/open areas that trap hot air is the other main thing to do to really help the fridge perform at it’s best.

If you have an RV absorption refrigerator and you smell ammonia at the back of the fridge, it’s dead and that ammonia can start a fire. Turn the fridge off and don’t use it again. You have to replace the cooling unit or replace the whole fridge with a new one. A new fridge will cost around $800 - $1,000 more than just replacing the cooling unit.

DISCLAIMER:
We are in no way experts or professional mechanics. But being a journeyman millwright for years & being EX Military, has proven to be very helpful in my lifetime learning how to care for & maintain all sorts of machinery & equipment like: helicopters, airplanes, tanks, motorcycles & many types of other vehicles. That, along with 18 months preparing & upgrading our RV before we went full time, & now traveling for several years has gained us a lot of knowledge. Regardless of what we recommend, consult a professional if you're unsure about working on your RV. Work you perform or products you purchase based on any information we provide is at your own risk.
