RV refrigerators fail in predictable ways. The cooling unit leaks ammonia, the control board stops sending power, or the burner and flue clog with soot on absorption models. Sometimes it is just a blocked vent or a thermistor gone bad. A tech who works on fridges daily will check the basics first: power at the board, flame quality, and airflow behind the unit. Ask whether they test the cooling unit before replacing parts. That saves you from paying for a board when the real problem is a cracked tube. In the mountains, tree debris and dust make vent cleaning a yearly chore.
The one Ben Lomond shop listed here is a mobile tech, which means they come to your campsite or driveway. That is a big deal when your rig is set up and the fridge is full. Mobile work costs more in travel time but saves you the tow. If the repair needs a bench test or a new cooling unit, the tech may pull the fridge and take it back to the shop. Ask about that upfront. The 12 nearby options include shop-based work if you prefer to drive in. Book ahead in spring and summer, when mobile schedules fill fast.
No shop in this list advertises warranty work, so if your fridge is under an extended warranty, call the warranty provider first and get pre-approval before any repair starts. Ask the shop if the part is in stock or if they have to order it. Cooling units and control boards are not always on the shelf. A good tech will give you a realistic window, not a guess. Also ask what happens if the fridge still does not cool after the repair. A written work guarantee matters more than a low hourly rate.
There is 1 listed in Ben Lomond. It is a mobile tech, so it comes to you. If you need a shop visit or a second opinion, there are 12 more nearby.
Yes, the one Ben Lomond shop listed is mobile. That means the tech travels to your RV. Confirm the travel radius and any trip charge when you call, since mobile calls are priced differently from shop work.
Basic checks like power, fuses, and vent blockage are fine. But absorption cooling units run on ammonia and propane, and that is not a DIY job. If you smell ammonia or see yellow residue, shut it off and call a tech.
Empty the fridge if you can, or have coolers ready. Clear access to the outside vent and the interior panel. Note what the fridge does: no cooling at all, cools on propane only, or freezes everything. Those details help the tech bring the right part.
