Lewiston has four shops that work on RV fridges, and one of them, Travelland RV Sales & Service, also sends a mobile tech. That's handy if your rig is parked at a campground or you can't move it. Mobile calls usually cost more than bringing the RV in, but you save the tow. If your fridge is dead and you're boondocking, ask if they can come to you. Otherwise, most repairs happen in the shop where they have power and tools. Call ahead to see if they have time for a drop-in or if you need an appointment.
Two of the four shops here do warranty work: RnR RV Center Lewiston Service and Travelland RV Sales & Service. If your fridge is under warranty, get pre-approval from the manufacturer before any work starts. That saves arguments later. Western States Cat and Travelland both stock parts, so ask if the part you need is on the shelf. A common fix like a cooling unit or control board might be in stock, but if it's not, you could wait days. Ask upfront. RnR Service also handles insurance claims, which helps if a roof leak killed your fridge.
RV fridges fail for a few predictable reasons: the cooling unit leaks, the control board dies, or the burner gets clogged. In Lewiston, summer heat stresses the fridge, so spring is the busy season for repairs. Book ahead if you can. If your fridge won't cool but the freezer works, it's often a cooling unit issue. If nothing works, check the breaker and the GFCI first. RnR RV Center Lewiston has weekend hours, which is rare, so that's an option if you're passing through on a Saturday. Travelland also opens weekends.

Yes, two of the four shops handle warranty repairs: RnR RV Center Lewiston Service and Travelland RV Sales & Service. Call first to confirm your warranty is accepted and get pre-approval from the manufacturer before any work begins.
Travelland RV Sales & Service is the only shop listed here that offers mobile service. They can come to your RV if it's not movable. Expect to pay a service call fee, but it can be cheaper than towing your rig to a shop.
Check the breaker and the GFCI outlet first. Make sure the fridge is level and the vents aren't blocked. If it's a propane fridge, see if the burner lights. These simple checks might save you a service call. If it still won't cool, call a shop.
