Just thought I'd pass this information on to someone with the same issue. I have a standard 2 door Dometic fridge that was not cooling. All of the lights worked and the "check" light never came on. It seemed the cooling unit wasn't working. A guy told me to take a 12" 2x4 or something wooden and lightly tap on the coils using a hammer. I did so and viola, it started working!
Of course your mileage may very, but it's worth a shot before replacing the cooling unit...
It may be "working". BUT, that is a subjective term. Tapping on a cooling unit with a rubber mallet or a 2 x 4, will NOT make a cooling unit operate to spec. Do a temp test with a glass of water in the lower section for 24 hours. After 24 hours get the temp of the water in the glass. It will NOT be below 40 degrees which means the cooling unit is indeed partially blocked. Doug
