Dometic Fridge not cooling
My Dometic Fridge stopped working yesterday, either on gas or electric. It is at least 10 yrs old. Should I repair it or get a new one ? Should I replace it with a residential unit that only runs ...

sounds like a bad thermister uplug it then put the inside part in a glass of ice water more ice than water wait 10 minutes then check the ohms it should read between 8,000-10,000 ohms
A BAD thermistor will NOT stop cooling. It will stop adequate cooling. Doug
Doug ALL things ARE possabile i did have a thermister wire short and shut the board off but do believe the cooling unit is plugged as you do.
please also note the op stated as well of replacing the unit and not repairing it
OK, but in 30 years I have NEVER seen that happen. I have worked on thousands of refers. BUT, the fact remains, IF you suspect the Thermister, then unplug it at the board. A BAD thermistor will still OHM out correctly OR if shorted will indicate that. But, YOUR very rare short shut the board OFF. The OP's board did not shut off. There are multitudes of things that stray from the ordinary, you ALWAYS go for the simpler common items when troubleshooting. Doug
