We have a Bighorn 3610RE with the fridge in the kitchen slide. Our freezer stopped cooling last week so we contacted a service technician. He said even before coming out that the problem has to do with the frigid weather we have had lately (-18 F Yikes). He said it is a common problem with fridges in the slides and gets two or three calls a day for this problem. His recommendation was to cover the vent and put a light bulb in the area where the evaporator is and hope the unit starts back up.
Can someone explain to me what effect is of extreme cold on these units? I have read up on how the absorption type fridges work but I am trying to get my head around why it would stop working with cold weather - hot weather I can understand!
