[C320-list] Fridge not chilling as effectively…

[David Hayes]

Thanks all for your responses.  I managed to find a local refrigeration tradesman who confirmed that the unit was a little low on gas, checked for leaks, and topped it up and it is again working beautifully.

Interestingly I did find a supposed specialist marine/RV refrigeration business a couple of hours away that said they'd charge a $500 service fee just to come and have a look...I ended up paying my local commercial refrigeration guy $100 for the 30 min job.
There is a gauge fitting with a cap that was not very right so we tightened that and post-refilling he could not find any leaks, so hopefully the problem is now sorted.

The fridge only uses about 3 amps when on full so it doesn't sound like there would have been much to gain by replacing it unless it was dead; regardless I'm delighted with the result.
Thanks again for all the advice.
