From: "Jay Peasley" <jpeasley@...> ... Hi Jay; That seems to be the general consensus, that it is just too inconvenient to be worth the small energy...
Hi Laren, Good to hear from you. Hopefully you have been out picking black morels. ;-) Actually it is a DAR1102W. The energy star (federal) rating is 326 ...
I posted the new link awhile back but the old address is still floating around. That hosting site went unstable and was down for over 2 months so I moved the...
I was a Lowe's yesterday, and took a look at their little refrigerators. They had a very nice one with separate large freezer. It was labled as only 3.3cuft,...
Laren, Something that I didn't report on, was the previous purchase of a small Danby DAR254W freezer-less fridge. Last fall my cheese making needed a dedicated...
I would like to build a large chest freezer using a 12 volt Danfoss compressor and Danfoss control. I know a little about refrigeration, but not a lot. I...
The idea that we should keep the heat in the house is not correct for our situation. That heat is certainly not welcome in the summer and worthless to us in...
... That was my first thought, too. Indeed, using the battery to store energy over a number of days doesn't sound like a good idea. However, aren't there...
Hello, We are redoing a kitchen this year. Need advice concerning the frig options. We have a mid-size Frig/bottom-freezer now. I need a little more freezer...
I just got an old dometic and it works on electric so far. I am wondering if there is any thing I should do to it , I have to get WD/40 , there is some rust on...

Hi Priscilla, Here are some leads on help for your Dometic refrigerator: http://www.dometicusa.com/refrigerators.php in the upper right hand corner is a link...
I've never tried to power any of my Dometic fridges, of which I've owned three so far, with anything other than LP gas, but I do have a few observations which...
Del, that sounds very interesting. What kind of burner do you use and how is the waste-oil delivered to it? I would love to be able to use all our waste motor...
Connie, This burner throws a BIG flame ! Has to power a 5 ton AC. It would burn a fridg or freezer up in minutes. I have a small oil pump and it is set at 2...
From: "Del Martin" <del_martins@...> ... That sounds good. ... No. I am not interested in it. I have a motorhome that will run on it, but it is not on...
I live in Central Illinois. I recently saw a "green" program about a commercial size frig that pulled in cold air from outside. Seemed like a great idea for...
I would not run that Dometic to long on AC. It is the worst energy hog appliance built. It runs great on LP but it will kill an electric bill. Electric was...
Greetings, I went for over 6 months in the winter in Edmonton Alberta without a fridge. Window ledges were great for milk and normal fridge products, an...
Hi Del, I dont know this for a fact, but is it possible waste motor oil has lots of lead and other babbit metals from the engines in it? Would not that go...
David, I do not think we have had lead in the engine bearings/babbit for many years but there are some minute aluminum, brass, steel and other specs in WMO. I...
Dave: In the case of worn engines, there are traces of metals in the WMO. (I work in an industry that actually analyses that to determine a possible failure...
