RV Refrigerator Service

Annual Maintenance • Diagnosis • Performance Checks

RV refrigerators operate under extreme conditions unlike residential appliances. Motorhomes, fifth wheels, and travel trailers experience continuous vibration, shifting climates, power fluctuations, out-of-level camping, high heat, dust, dirt, and corrosion — all of which place stress on RV cooling systems.

For these reasons, RV refrigerator manufacturers recommend annual preventive maintenance.

Annual RV Refrigerator Service Includes:

  • Performance check & temperature evaluation
  • Burner, flue & ventilation inspection
  • Ignition source inspection
  • Airflow / blockage check
  • Component cleaning and safety checks
  • Visual inspection for rust, dirt, contamination & heat damage

Why Annual Service Matters:

  • Helps prevent premature failure
  • Identifies cooling inefficiencies before major damage occurs
  • Reduces risk of vent blockages / overheating
  • Extends refrigerator lifespan & efficiency
  • Protects your investment while traveling

RVs live rough — bumps, heat, power changes, campground conditions — all add up fast. Proper annual maintenance protects your fridge and helps ensure safe, dependable cooling during every trip.

Refrigerator Service

An RV refrigerator works by absorption and a chemical reaction between ammonia, water, and hydrogen. The ammonia is heated then goes through an evaporation and condensation process which causes the cooling effect of the fridge. The ammonia is heated either by a propane flame or electric element.
