We have a Dometic TecTower in a 2012 vehicle and have been struggling with the performance of the fridge (freezer is fine) on EHU and gas.
Ordinarily, I’d have put the blame on deterioration of the thermal paste. However, I have replaced the paste with the GD900 that uncle Lenny HB recommends and this has made little difference.
Would too much, as well as too little, paste be detrimental to performance?
The gas burner appears to be fine with a good healthy flame.
Access to the top of the flue is impossible without removing the fridge but I have blown air up through the flue with no significant soot/debris coming out. I have also ‘brushed’ the lower part of the flue with a rag attached to fibre cable ‘mouse’ again with no evident dirt/soot being visible.
Any other suggestions on what the root of the issue might be? I had contemplated the cold air escaping out of the bottom of the door seal but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
