# RV Refrigerator & Appliance Repair

We repair RV refrigerators, water heaters and furnaces on-site in Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City, including Norcold, Dometic, Suburban and Atwood units. Many failures come from igniters, control boards, thermistors or gas supply, and are fixable without replacing the appliance.

## Which appliance is giving you trouble?

- Fridge not cooling, or warm in the freezer and cold in the fridge
- Fridge works on electric but not propane, or reverse
- Water heater will not light or has no hot water
- Furnace blows cold air or will not ignite
- Clicking with no ignition
- Propane smell (shut off propane and call immediately)
- Error or fault lights flashing
- Rust or yellow residue behind the fridge

## What we do

- **Refrigerators:** Absorption and compressor fridge diagnosis, control board, heating element and igniter replacement, and level and venting checks.
- **Water heaters:** Igniter, thermostat, anode, gas valve and control board repair or replacement.
- **Furnaces:** Igniter, sail switch, blower motor and board repair.
- **Honest repair vs replace:** If an appliance is not worth repairing, we say so and quote the replacement.

## Why does my RV fridge struggle in summer heat?

Absorption fridges rely on venting heat out the back. When it is 110°F outside, poor airflow or a failing cooling unit shows up fast. Fans and proper venting help, and parking in shade helps further.

## How much does it cost?

Final cost depends on the diagnosis, parts and labor. We quote before work starts and nothing proceeds without your approval.
- Trip fee: $75 within 30 miles

## FAQ

### Is it safe to run my fridge while driving?

Follow your manufacturer's guidance. Many owners run fridges on electric or battery while traveling, and propane use at fuel stops is restricted.

### Why does my RV fridge work on electric but not propane?

Typically an igniter, burner or gas supply issue. We diagnose the gas side separately from the electric side.

### Do you replace RV water heaters?

Yes. We handle removal, installation and testing, and can match your cutout and fuel type.
