Dometic RM2862 Bit the Dust

Replaced our fire starter Dometic last summer with a residential.

Best thing we ever did, more room.

You are going to love it.

The reason all these fridges cooling units are not lasting as long is the EPA mandated less sodium chromate be used. That is what protects the cooling unit from the gas inside eating the pipes. It seems that we are seeing more of this in the newer units while the older ones are going strong. I know I decided to pull mine and put in a residential.

I guess, my side by side Dometic lasted 12 years. Luckily I found a great mobile tech while we were in Adelanto to do a rebuild. However, after making the repair, I feel that I should have had him install a residential frig at that time.

Ours is ten years old and has never had a problem. But sometimes I wonder if I should just replace both the circuit board (with Dinosaur) and the cooling unit with a Amish unit just so it doesn't leave up sitting.

Our MH has the same fridge. Any info on what you are putting in to replace it.
Our is now 10 years old. Still original.
