Jayco Flight fridge

All 3way fridges in my view are next to useless once the temperature gets to 30 degrees. Sure you read the stories of travelling in the NT in 40+ degrees C and their fridge is still 2 degrees C, well perhaps at midnight when it was coolest then maybe????? BUT .........

I have a Dometic RM2330 which is about 8 years old and has never been any good unless the temperature is 25 degrees C or below. Perhaps I am spoiled because I also have a Waeco in the back of the Prado that comes down about 50 degrees below ambient, so I guess I tend to compare apples to oranges and it makes me even more anti-3way.

Recently when camping I had a bigger fridge temperature problem and I thought it was the jet also, so I cleaned it and it made no difference, but I then realised that the problem was the gas regulator. Without going in to great detail about gas pressures you can remove the cover and screw the adjusting portion of the regulator closkwise until it gets tight and then try the fridge on gas and if it fixes the problem then you know that the regulator is the problem and you should get it renewed. Make a point of remembering how many turns in you screwed the adjustment portion so you can return it to the original position if that is not the problem.

You should be able to see the gas get without removing anything if you look from a variety of angles and if the jet is blue and reassonably bright then it is most likely the pressure gauge. Some gas jets can be cleaned without removing the fridge, but mine was more difficult because of the lack of room to manouvre the surrounding housing, so I had to completely remove the fridge.

Good Luck!!!

Hi Reggie, it will be worth unscrewing the jet and sitting it in boiling water to dissolve away the gunk which is likely to be blocking it. There's a lovely ruby crystal with a tiny hole in for the jet. And yes you may have to pull the fridge out if access at the back is too awkward. Went to the Cape in 08 and a mate and I had the same model fridge. Mine was 6 years old and his double that. Guess which one kept the beer cold!!. So I had to get used to drinking 10 degree beer - I got used to it after a couple of days...... W

Hi

suggest as above you check the regulator first

have a lookHERE and this info may help get you started.

cheers....
