Frig RM 3801 Operation

[Gardner Yeaw]

Curt,
I'd be checking for leaks. If you have a quick disconnect for a
grill then get a preasure guage and adapter so you can plug it into
the quick disconnect. Charge the system and then shut it off at the
tank. I don't know the acceptable rate of preasure loss, but it
should be available somewhere on the net, or from Bluebird. If there
is a loss start shutting off the valves to the various components to
isolate the fault. Trying to find all the connections and test with
soapy water might be a real miserable task. If you can isolate it to
a specific area you are ahead of the game.
