Hi. I have a Unique 6CU propane fridge that is freezing everything inside the refrigerator. My cabin is a seasonal cabin I use for hunting season September through December so it is not heated 24/7. The manual says that is the ambient temperature in the room drops below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, food will freeze. The thing is, there are 3 other guys in my area that have same fridge and I know for a fact their places are not heated above 60 when they are not there and they don’t have the issue.

The flame is burning fine although it sounds a bit louder than I think it should. I wondered if a 2nd regulator at the fridge itself would help at all? I was first thinking maybe it was getting too much gas or burning too high. There is a pressure regulator on my propane tank. The cooler setting is on the lowest setting. The freezer works fine.

Is there anything I can do so that when I come back on weekends, my food is not all frozen? Or I am just stuck unless I keep the place heated. As I mentioned I know others with the same setup as me don’t have the issues I do.

Any thoughts or advice would me much appreciated. Thanks!

Interesting because I googled it too and all I found was hits about RV fridges and 120 AC fridges. Nothing specific to the Unique propane fridge or anything similar. If you have a link for what you found, would you mind posting it? Thanks.
