A great read!

I believe this is why all of the galley, head and bridge breakers are on fault circuits with individual breakers at their point of connection - which would cause it to trip as per the article.

wow thanks folks I have had some appliance repair techs look at it and as of right now I have one saying it is the evaporater and putting in a new one would be +/- $650.00. Still investigating.

Wow thanks for all the comments. I have had some technicians look at it and the latest diagnosis is to replace the evaporater at +/- $650.00. Still investigating and living between two small refrigerators.

Wow! $650.00 repair, u r half way to a new one I do believe. I tried the repair route when our ice make went. Put $500.00 in what is now a anchor. May I suggest, do to the size restrictions u have, to check RV fridges too? There may be a slight cost savings.

Thinking of the last RV I owned a 24' travel trailer the refrigerator in that unit had 3 modes of operation. 12 volt, 110 volt and propane. All methods worked quite well as I remember.
