Dometic fridge just quit cooling no fuses blown.

New camper lived in for a month now 25v Vengence anyway long time rver and fridge just quit cooling lights on front seem fine there is power at the 120 in the back when I unplug it the gas kicks on and the chimney gets hot checked the 3 amp and 5 amp and the inline fuse none are blown which makes sense cause there doesn't seem to be a power failure except that the fridge is warm inside! Everything is under warranty hopefully being new I sure don't have the time to take it to the dealer right now 2 hours away. Any ideas?

  • Welcome to the forums. Did you feel the cooling plate in the freezer? If you are able to heat up the cooling unit with AC or propane and you have no cooling, odds are that it's a bad cooling unit and you need to make the trip to the dealer to have it replaced. Having said that, did you try just adjusting the thermostat for the warmer temps? Good luck with your repairs.

  • If I unplug the 120 chord or switch it from inside ei take it off auto no lights then on the burner clicks and ignites and chimney feels warm and gets hot. No yellowish material inside the back covers and I also tried leaving it off for 12 hours then turning it on as far as cleaning I haven't looked at that a fan did kick on kinda noisy after the gas was on a half hour or so still no cooling inside though does the chimney come out the roof? Only other bit of info is we are living in it and we've been using it for a month now in 30 degree out door temps now it's finally warming up here 70 the last two days.
  • Have you tried switching to propane?
    Have you cleaned the stack?
    Is there any yellowish material in the out side access/
