Refrigerator Repair

[0533]

My frig is not staying cold. It worked great when I left the factory back in Coburg. It is original equipment, Amana Side by Side. Looks brand new. When I tested it in Coburg it made ice, was cold, worked great. Now it does not make ice and will not stay cold.

I have asked the marathon folks to examine this and repair. I have asked to have the coils cleaned, condenser, and check the defrost setting before any additional effort is made to fix the unit. It still has water in the door and power and is a little cool, just a little.

The question here is two fold: To work on the frig the folks at marathon said they would need to remove it from the coach. What has your experience been with this type of situation. How much can be done while it is in the coach. I am at a disadvantage as I am 220 miles away and cannot make this inspection myself.

I was under the impression that most work including refrigerant could be done onboard.

PS. This frig is one of those Amana units that had the dark glass front on them and ice and water in the door. I guess it is a standard unit. If I have to replace it, what have you guys done here, what choices have you made?

Thanks
