Dometic fridge won’t stay lit
Hoping someone here can help as we’re in the midst of our vacation.
Dometic RM2652 fridge. Pilot lights instantly. Burns for 15 sec or so and shuts off.
I downloaded the manual.
I checked the burn tube (beautifully clean), flue, and orifice.
I’ve gone through the tests and everything seem ok except for the thermocouple.
During pilot it only puts out 19mv. Spec says 25-35mv.
I was able to pick up another thermocouple and it does the exact same thing with almost the same test readings. Maybe up to 20-21mv.
Any suggestions? Can I bypass or fool the thermocouple?
I’m using my generator during generator hours to try and keep things cold but obviously it’s not the best setup.
I appreciate any help.
