Thank you! Never understood why it sometimes stopped and restarted for no apparent reason. Thought it was a power problem.

Very good video 😊

I'll NEVER buy this style of slide out AGAIN! motors do not last, high price cheap junk! The manufacturer should be ashamed

This is a great video as I have exactly this problem. After several hours of shore power, no cooling. CHanged to propane with cooling in a few hours. Other vids were not this detailed, or stopped short of explaining the heating element, checking its resistance for 80 ohms +/- 10%, and the board that should be 120 V at the prongs where the heating element plugs on. I appear to have to issues: 1) my board does not supply 120 V to the pins that feed the heating element wires and 2) my heating element wires have 8 ohms of resistance rather than 72-88 as indicated in the manual. Looks like I might be in for a new board and heating element. Do you have any videos for replacing each?

I really appreciated this video 👍

I clicked on here to watch you remove the round crank from the vent screen which mine seems to be stuck onto. Sadly that part through your infinant wisdom did not show??????????

How reliable are the aftermarket slide out motors? Someone commented on another video to try not to use the motors made in China. The Lippert motors are not US made either. Do you have a preference?

im getting pass thru residual voltage of 5 volts thru an open 112 volt manual reset circuit breaker. im thinking it might be a grounding issue as I have replaced the circuit breaker a few time and the same problem.

Haaaa ….I have same old Atwood and it’s leaking… I have the same new Dometic to install… I was scared of the plumbing and the multi colored wires.. you just solved my problem…thank you…

I personally would prefer that you are shorter and to the point. You are a good technician and technical advice is what we seek.

I have the same thermostat. Can you tell me why my thermostat is flashing an E4 code.

so i did do this as i commented 3 years ago, why the video showed up in my feed again i dont know! i used mostly luan plywood and caulking and it made a huge improvement. the sides of fridge were closed off properly but there was a 10 inch void above. the 10 inch void was probably there to accomadate an optional taller fridge. i then opened up that void at the front and installed a floor and walls to form a cabinet above the fridge. fridge performance is much much better!

Great Vid, a little rushed at times, but all in all was detailed and to the point. I may need to do this on my Dometic refer. Freezer cooling pretty well but the refer won’t get below 40*. Have good ventilation, DC fan units installed on lower access door. Roof vent seems to be clear of debris, but the fridge is just not performing. Could be because it’s been 100*-115* this summer … Just say’n! Thanks again! Solid work! 😎 BTW … 👍🏼 and Sub Earned!

I've done this on 2 different units, a 2022 Norcold Polar 8N and a 2012 Norcold LRM1200. Both work great now.

Thanks for the info, got the heater working again.

GREAT VIDEO

Thank you very much Darren for sharing, I have learnt a lot from this detailed video. You have inspired me to get some of the basic RV work done without taking the RV to the dealer.

Great info thanks 🤙

???I have a brand new camper. They didnt put the top on my battery, the 1st week it was parked at my house, it rained. The battery compartement filled with water. I took the camper for a ride. When i came back home, i plugged into house. 3 days later all DC power was gone. Could the battery being in water have killed the converter? BTW I am a 50 year old woman and I feel like an expert after watching your video it was very very instructive thank you

too bad camera man sucks

I have a pump that won’t kick on until pressure is at like 0 psi. Turn on kitchen sink and pump doesn’t turn on until water is at almost just a drip. Then when pump does kick on it sputters lots of air too. Think I got a bad pump or what?

My boss asked me to look at his water heater on his Grand Design camper. I have never worked on a water heater in a camper , and took one look and started looking on line and Google sent me to you..... You just made me look good by saving my boss a trip to the RV shop. Thanks so much! I gave subscribed to you and saved you in my book marks.

Thank you for this! The step by step was PERFECT. The only setback came when I thought I remembered what you said but forgot one step and had to re-do a wire connector. So, I brought my phone onto the roof of my Airstream and re-watched each step. I did a couple of things differently on purpose -- but mostly just the placement of zip-ties. I would have never thought to zip-tie the EasyStart to the frame, in addition to the 3M tape. Great idea. Just like you said, I couldn't zip tie both ends due to the foam block. I would have wondered what-the-heck to do with the now-loose capacitor. I zip-tied like you did, but also bent and re-fasted the metal tape that held the combo previously. I didn't use a zip tie on the EasyStart power cord. I found I could snake it under the compressor legs and that held it very nicely. I was moving this EasyStart from an older Mach8 that failed, so all my connectors were already in place. I was able to work them through the existing opening, but it wasn't easy.

The light on my brand new trailer brake box is always on. Will that eventually drain my truck battery?

Question: ac works when plugged in. Does not work when generator as it normally does. Microwave powers up w gen set. What do I check? :(

You are awesome this was very very informative thank you

You said to replace top unit. What do you mean?

If the power was shut down, could I still maintain everything in my R?V off of the gas propane? I'm new to this living in an RV.So i'm a little concerned.

Thank you, I followed your video and replaced my bad board with a dinosaur board. You made it so much easier to work on and in a form i could follow. Thank you from Missouri.

Outstanding video!!

Great video good info on hunting down the trail.but I have a question how can I get a hold of you do you have a chat line

Thanks Darren, very detailed instructions . Thanks again

My compressor points are totalling up to be 3.5 vs 4.5. I'm guessing that's enough difference to be a bad compressor?

Thanks!

how do you open the slide to access the set screw if the motor doesn't run?

is the hysteresis adjustable?

Biggest thing I learned was patience when I was doing it. Some people are super mad by the time we arrive and the camper manufacturer, then the parts manufacturer have had them thru the wringer and some tend to take it out on me . I used to simply tell them I didn't break it I'm here to help but if we got off on the wrong foot for an action of mine I'll make it right but if it wasn't my action that's angered you and it continues I can leave , majority of folks would chill out at that point but the ones that didn't I just packed up and left , no charge I'd just call whoever I needed to and report customers behavior then they received zero help from that point. Hate being that way but it became more frequent as years went by so I quit doing rv repair. My best advice is if you run into these kind of customers figure out a better way than I did for dealing with them and you'll be good , also word of mouth can make or break a business so rely on the long buck to make you successful not the short buck ( by this I mean if you go to troubleshoot something say it's water pump it's an hour on spader and like .70 to replace it, if it takes you an hour to find it, 2 hrs to troubleshoot because your new and another 1 hr to replace it charging 4 hrs will not get a referral be fair and explain your charging say 2 and the other 2 are the learning curve. Charging customers for you to learn is bad business EVERY time ! )

Thanks!

The Biggest Problem is That The Factory Does Not Always Install Rollers Underneath . And When They Do They Don't Carry Any Weight Because the Slide is Not Installed Plumb with The Coach . When Properly Squared and Leveled With The Coach and Riding on Several Rollers .They Will Last The Lifetime of the Coach .

Two door freezer. Left side works right side dosen't

Does that view cover to see the burner and igniter stay open all the time or ok to close?

Great video and perfect explanation, but I still can’t find my DC power going to my thermostat on my Colman mach lol 😂. The wires are in back wall and furnace inside an area where you can’t get your hands in. Much less check wires

thank you so much for the insightful video. me and my wife got a camper and found 4 leaks at said parts. gonna try to fix it here in the following weeks. ill let you know if we succeed, might take me a bit. got real bad adhd lol

what does it cost on average to replace the breaker panel mine looks just like the 1 in the video but fully melted and seperated from nuetral bar

Thanks for the video. Now will do mine

Does the Slide Have Rollers Supporting it ? to take the Weight off the Gibbs .

This man is not just wise, he is a sage.

Check your propane regulator if you’re having water heater no gas lighting issues. I purchased several parts short of replacing circuit board. Checked by trying to turn on stove and it would not light. Tried another regulator and it lit right away

Thank you for your videos! I went to your website to try and submit a request for help via email or text as you talked about in this video. Is that option no longer available?

Where are the modules
