We run our dometic fridge on elec. only. It suddenly stopped cooling after sitting up for a year. Has anyone tried replacing thiers with a small regular fridge? I saw one at home depot that fits fairly well after some work, Do you know if it will work?

Can you run regular household fridge?

My 81 excella fridge suddenly died. We know about the leveling thing and I even kicked it, I know I know. I saw a household stainless steel fridge at a certain store that we could make fit in the space. Has this been done with any success? We always use elec.
Thanks,

You say that you only run the unit on electric. Have you tried to run it on propane? The fridge is one of the most expensive pieces in your trailer. If you toss the unit, it will make the trailer less atractive when you sell. The problem might be just a burt out heating element or a tripped breaker. I would try and troubleshoot / repair the unit.
