Refrigerator Problems
My Dometic Refrigerator quit on both electric and gas. I check the two fuses and both OK. The door panel on/off light works and it will show auto or gas but nothing happens. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Common to those are the thermistor and lower circuit board
You can test both.
HERE is a Service Manual that covers your model.
Pgs 11 & 14 have test procedures- Take it for a ride--sometimes the ammonia will thicken and stick. Our son got his going a few times this way. Try it on gas with shore line unplugged so it is running on gas and battery only. Eventually our son's Norcold worked perfect after a converter replacement (dirty DC). If you want to drive to northern IN, National RV Refrigeration in Shipshewana is very good and probably the least expensive.
- The answer to both questions is NO. it's a dometic NDR 1062.
- I have a Norcold that did the same thing. I had to replace the control board.
- When on electric does the element get hot?
When on propane does the main flame light/stay lit?
IF YES to both..........and no cooling (several hours) then cooling unit is probably dead. Coolant leaked out (ammonia smell/yellow residue) or is completely blocked (too much off level operation/overheating of coolant)
What Brand/Model..... - Any ammonia smell, could be a refrigerant loss. Any yellowish residue around the rear of the unit?
