What goes wrong with RV fridges
Most RV refrigerators in this heat fail in one of two ways. The cooling unit loses its charge and the box never gets cold, or the propane burner and flue clog up and it works on shore power but not gas. Sometimes it is simpler: a bad thermistor, a loose 12 volt connection, or a control board. A shop can tell you which within a day. Ask them to test it on both gas and electric before they quote anything, because the fix differs a lot. If the cooling unit is gone, ask whether a rebuilt unit fits your model and whether the part is in stock. Waiting on a backordered cooling unit is the slow part, not the labor.
Shop work versus mobile
Pulling a fridge is not a driveway job. The unit has to come out through the door or a window, and the venting has to go back right. That points to a shop with a bay. Mobile techs are better for diagnosis, a thermistor swap, or a board, and there are 5 nearby shops and techs listed if Duggans is booked out. Call first and describe the symptom: works on gas but not electric, works on electric but not gas, or never cold at all. That one sentence saves a lot of time.
Before you book
Spring and early summer fill up fast around here, so call ahead if you can. Ask whether they work on your brand and whether the parts are on the shelf. If your fridge is under a warranty or a service plan, get pre-approval before anyone touches it, or you may pay twice. Empty the fridge and freezer before you drop it off, and bring the model and serial number. If the shop has to order a cooling unit, ask for the lead time in writing so you can plan around ice chests.

My fridge works on electric but not propane. What now?
That pattern usually points to the burner, the orifice or the flue rather than the cooling unit. It is often a cleaning and adjustment job. Ask the shop to test it on gas after the repair, not just on shore power.
Should I empty the fridge before drop-off?
Yes. Empty it and wipe it out, and bring the model and serial number. If a cooling unit has to be ordered, ask for the lead time in writing so you can plan around ice chests and coolers.
