Dometic RM2652

When plugged into shore power and LP tank is on the Auto light comes on but the LP and AC lights are off. If I press the button to switch it to gas nothing happens
  • So the "Auto" light doesn't go out when your plugged in and you switch manually to gas?
  • When plugged into power the only light that comes on is the auto light. The AC power light is off. When I switch it to gas while it's plugged in nothing happens, no operation at all
  • The only times I have run in to a problem like this, critters has partially chewed the cable between upper and lower boards.

    Depends on how long you wait. IF the refer is at Temp and you switch, it will NOT switch to LP until the refer calls for cooling. Is it possible this is the case? Doug
  • I checked it this morning and the freezer was at -10 degrees with the temperature control set at 4. That is with it running on AC power but the indicator bulb is not on. Are they replaceable if it's a burned out bulb?

    the only bulb that should be on is the automatic one- not the ac or the lpg lite
    Like doug told you it wont light on LPG if the fridge is already cooled to the parameters its set at
    if you leave it on LPG only setting once the fridge warms a bit it should light the lpg burner
  • When a Dometic fridge is plugged into shore power, they will not work on propane. They are programmed to work on shore power first. At least that's what the service manual says and that's the way mine works.

    True if on AUTO. When you release the AUTO button it will go to LP. Doug

    PS, HOW do you think we test refers on LP???:B
  • Got home from work and checked on the fridge. Now when selected AUTO only the GAS light comes on but I can not hear the gas valve open or ignitor. This is with the coach plugged into shore power and I have confirmed I have 110 volts at the receptacle where the fridge is plugged in and 12 volts at the junction box. I am leaning towards the circuit panel

    Open the refer door for 10 minutes and see if the gas comes on. Doug
