My fridge is that ancient it doesn't have an automatic ignition, it has a manual 'clicker' and you have to lie on the floor and view the sight class to see if it's lit, so if the gas runs out you don't know until you notice the fridge is warming up! Thanks for this informative video - muich appreciated!

Hi. First of all thanks for your video! Very very helpful. I have quite similar fridge (RM4280/4281) It works very well with gas but, lately, less with 240v. Not I big issue, I can still rely on gas and 12v, but I like to fix my oldies. The green light is ok. I guess that the problem is between the heater and where the electricity arrives. Do you know if I can find spare parts for a similar model?

Great video , I've got a dometic RM7291L, my problem is that when using hook up, the fridge green light will illuminate for the 240, and will start to cool, after a few hours the green 240 light will go dim but still slightly lit and fridge will stop cooling, if left like that for a few hours, the fridge will start working again, green light will be full lit and start cooling again, this cycle keeps happening, 12v won't work when towing, tried gas the orange light just keeps flashing, please help its our new van , thanks

HELLO and thank you for the great video. My Dometic 3-way (RM8501) does not work at elevations above 2000m which is where I like to boondock. So I rely heavily upon using propane. I've lost a lot of food to spoilage :( WHAT MAKES ME CRAZY is I've spoken to people who own this exact same unit who say theirs are reliable little workhorses and they have no problem at high elevations or even if it's hot out, they still keep their food nice and cold. I heard that some of these units are "lemons" and that there is nothing that can fix them. What do you think? Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you so much!

I have an RM 182B 12/120 it also says refrigerant 717. I am not sure what the best way to test this refrigerator is. Should I use the test procedures in this video? This is a 1984 Westfalia I read that R717 should not use copper piping do you know what piping was used when these were built / installed. Should I replace this unit or would you try to save it?

Can you add thicker wires such as a 6-8AWG or 10-12AWG wire with an inline fuse to 12V part of the fridge connector to prevent voltage drop or will it cause a fire? My luxima 3 way fridge only has thin wiring I’d say around 18-22AWG for the 12V while I was replacing the 12V male lighter plug with an Anderson plug

Thanks for the video. My Fridge is a Dometic, but very similar on the back. The rear of the fridge gets mildly cool when run on gas, but the fridge and freezer compartment do not get cold. They do however get cold when run on 240v. It also cools (slightly) on 12v but that drains my leisure battery (even when the car is running) so I don't use it. Any ideas why the pilot light would be on, and the exhaust warm, but the fridge not cooling on gas?

I have an issue with my 3 way Dometic fridge. We had a gas person today (who specializes in this type of equipment) but he could not find the source of the problem. Basically we can smell gas in our motorhome but only when the fridge is ON. When the gas hob or oven are in operation (while the fridge is turned off) we don't have the smell of gas. The flame from the gas hob (and where the gas flu is) is good and the technician said he was quite sure there is no leak of gas. Help would be greatly appreciated. We have run out of ideas and solutions.

Should the boiler be insulated and covered with sheet metal to retain the heat?

Hi great video, do you know why the freezer would be getting cold but the fridge compartment does not while using on gas?

My igniter creates a spark but it won't catch the gas and turn it into fire. It seems like it's not centered right above where the gas comes up but no clue how to move it. Anyone got suggestions? I have screws to move them slightly but thats more their angle with each other, they still wont move fully to the side because of how they are created and locked in place :S

Hi, yes sounds like the element has failed. They are changed and installed easily. Remove the old one and scour eBay and camping suppliers for the appropriate part

Do you think if neither the 12v or 240v lights on the front illuminate , then the heater element on the back would be unserviceable ?

There are 2 elements,,one for 12 volts one for 240,,the DC resistance on a test meter would be around 50ohms. If would very unusual for both to be open circuit?

Hey! Great video!!! If your still active I would love to tickle your tinker! Got a Rm2481 with a blown 12v switch indicator bulb! For some reason the 12v system no longer cools and the fridge only works on gas and leccy! 12v feed to switch all good!

Mine was working perfectly, but now the fridge gets warm inside instead of cold. Is it beyond repair?

I have the same refrigerator, but only the freezer compartment is frozen, but does the metal part in the large compartment of the refrigerator also need to be frozen?
