Dometic RM 2310 frig problems

By "orifice", do you mean the "jet"?

Have run across this before and the problem was the orifice. Clean with alcohol and put the orifice to a light and look through it. The hole if clean is perfectly round not jagged. tctrkca

Mine did the same thing. Poor cooling on gas, OK with electric. The part with the orifice was rusted up inside. You couldn't see that until the part was removed. $100 later and it works fine.

You might try a propane place that sells & services appliances to get the regulator's output checked. The folks who I buy propane from on a regular basis checked and adjusted mine for free. All the RV service shops just wanted to replace the regulator. Or you can order your own manometer for about $25 + $10 shipping from Dwyer, inc. The pressure should be about 11 inches of water column with at least two appliances running.

Based on my recent experience, good flippin' luck on getting a new door gasket from Dom-'we-don't-carry-that-anymore'-etic.

Found a very "little" crack in the door seal. wonder if that can be repaired r must it be replaced ?

Regarding fridge too large to remove: ( If you ever have to )
If you have a large enough window, pop it out to replace the fridge, its easy to do by removing the trim screws.

Check the door seal , be sure its in good condition.

Not getting cold enough could be a thermostat or the cooling unit .
There is a way to bypass the thermostat to see if things are working or not.
Personally i have never tried it. All i can suggest is this link where he tied into a 110 power source to bypass the Thermostat.
All i can find on it is the following: its for a diif. model dometic but the process is the same.
Good luck , hope things work out , Bob

Chris Thanks

No I didn't clean the orifice, will try that. LP regulator is the original as well.

This frig worked perfectly when last used, probably back in 2002. camper sat outside since then.

Did you clean the orifice? Remove it and soak in alcohol, air dry and reinstall. Checking the LP pressure is required as well- on a '97, if you haven't replaced the LP pressure regulator, I would just go ahead and replace it.
If it cools well on electric, it can cool the same on LP, unless the welds between the flue and boiler tube have broken (something I have never seen).

Model# RM 2310, i assume it's a 1997 as is the truck camper (Valor) is.

We have a 96 11ft Lance camper. We battled with the very same fridge problem for 2 years. Worked perfectly on electric, only cooled to 50 on propane. We tried everything, including draining the propane lines, cleaning vent, changing the "card" etc. 2 dealers and an RV Tech could not help. So we bought a new fridge. Then we found we could not get the fridge out of the camper...the doorway was too narrow!!! Dismantle the fridge or cut the doorway??? The dealer opted to removethe door and enlarge the doorway, remove/ reinstall the new fridge and repair (like new) the doorway. All included in the quoted installation costs. We were advised by Lance that the camper was constructed around the fridge!!!! They could have installed a slightly bigger door, eh???
