Fridge Problem

[wingnut60]

Cindy,

Your situation sounds exactly like ours--some cooling, but not enough to keep food safe...I can tell you that CW talked to Dometic, with the results of the diagnostic tests (bypassed all controls and ran fridge on max cooling--went to 20 in the food side) Dometic says 2 fans needed to run air by cooling fins in back. Factory fan had blown fuse, not working at all. Based on all this, CW ordered the thermostat switch (one that works at consideralby lower ambient temps) that controls the factory fan, and a 2nd fan to run at the same time. Still waiting on the parts to come in--which is ok, since I am trying to have concrete slab poured at the house where the trailer sits, and this solves where to put the trailer while that project completes.

When I tried disconnecting the thermister, results were all over the place--good cooling, then back to poor. So I had to give up on doing it myself.

I am lucky that I am only using the trailer for vacations, not full-time.

Let us know what story Dometic gives you and we'll compare notes.
