Dometic Freezer door gaskets?
I have an original Dometic side by side refrig - freezer in my 1998 Winnebago Grand Vectra. Refrigerator side temps are plenty cold enough. On the coldest of the five settings it will freeze soft drinks. The middle setting is good for the refrig side.
But the freezer only gets down to about 15 degrees at best at temps that are very good on the refrig side. I am assuming this unit should get the freezer side down to zero F, like in a home freezer? it will make ice, but will not keep ice cream hard, etc. The gaskets on the freezer door do not seem bad and will put some grip on slips of paper if I shut the door and pull on them, but I'm not sure if that is a good test of gasket quality.
Anyone have similar symptoms and replace door gaskets? Did it solve your problem?
Other ideas?
