Ours won't keep ice cream very well. If it's at the back virtually stuck on the fins then OK but it's not very good. It also seems to ice up instantly (door shuts properly) and the fridge fins don't frost any more, I've given up with it, tried everything, we even had a new plant unit fitted under warranty.
It won't make any difference if it's on high or low because the stat never breaks! The heater/burner is on 24 hours a day anyway.
I've been in the refrigeration industry for 22 years and worked on every type of cooling and heating device imaginable, from Co-op supermarkets, big coldstores, VRV air conditioners, food factories, manufacturing process chillers... but I'm completely stuffed with this toytown 'fridge' in our van, it's acting like the system is blocked or short of refrigerant but these absorption 'fridges' cannot be worked on, there's no compressor or valve or capillary or gauge access point.
Absorption systems don't exist outside the caravan world THANK GOD.
They are just crap and are only fitted because they will run on gas. But now solar power is getting better and cheaper perhaps they'll start fitting proper compressor fridges.
