RV refrigerators are notorious for messing up after about 12 years of service and that&#8217;s where Minnie is now. Richard noticed that the flame at the burner looked like it was plugged &#8211; a common problem with this type unit &#8211; so we took it apart for inspection. The jet was not only plugged but damaged by someone in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Richard called around to several RV parts dealers and found a new  nozzle in Apache Junction.  After we replaced the defective part the fridge began to cool like it should. I&#8217;m hoping I don&#8217;t have any more trouble with it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dalelafferty.com\/wp-content\/20150307_112610.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dalelafferty.com\/wp-content\/20150307_112610-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"20150307_112610\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dalelafferty.com\/wp-content\/20150307_112610-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dalelafferty.com\/wp-content\/20150307_112610.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today we installed a solar panel on Minnie&#8217;s roof.
