Hi MFA:
Actually, the article you sent me shows that the refrigerant is not ammonia. Ammonia is so toxic, no commercial or RV refrigerator uses it. There are new combinations, but most are an inert gas.
I was thinking that they might have introduced an ammonia smell into the refrigerant, to tell you if you had a leak.
