Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / August 2006dometic refrigerator
Havent used our rv in a while. Tried to get the fridge going, wouldnt work. First time we hooked it up in over 6 months. The plug from the house to the trailer was melted a little and the batteries didnt have any water. We put in the water and tried several times to operate the fridge. The inside of the fridge got very warm and the middle outside part between the fridge and freezer got very hot. We tried auto mode and gas mode. No Luck. We manually started the gas and still nothing. We turned off gas and left on the batteries and came back 2 days later and it was a little cold. We think it went into limp mode as now it will not work with gas or battery. Does anyone know what the problem could be. thank you > Havent used our rv in...over 6 months. That's describes our over-winter interval. No big deal if going INTO storage properly. Given your DRY battery cells, I suspect not much was done to your rig before it was walked away from. How OLD is the trailer and refrigerator? Your refrigerator may be beyond repair. Good luck!  Signature:) JR Try running the fridge on 110V before giving up on it. Dan > Havent used our rv in a while.

Does anyone know what the problem >could be. thank you When you say "will not work with gas or battery" does that mean that the flame doesn't light or that it doesn't get cold? If the flame doesn't light then look for gas at the burner. If your fridge is old enough you could have a pilot that won't stay lit or a dead thermocouple. If the burner will light but the fridge doesn't get cold then light it up, take the cover off the back, vacuum everything out, tap the coils vigorously and take it for a drive on a rough road. Then park it absolutely level. If that doesn't fix it then you probably need to recharge it and you can't likely do that if you are asking for help here.

The fridge controls work on 12 volts even though there is an AC heating element for when you are plugged into shore power. SignatureJon JPinOH The United States Constitution (c) 1791.
