Dometic RM2652 fridge flue cleaning

Removing the lower burner will NOT gain access to clean the flue(because of the baffle in the flue). IF you really think the baffle needs pulled and the flue cleaned, you need to pull the refer and remove the baffle and then insert the brush cleaner from the top. I have NEVER in 34 years had to pull a refer to clean a flue. My curved air nozzle inserted above the burner blowing up the flue does the trick. A Dirty flue does not really hamper LP operation. Flue debris on or falling on the burner causes performance problems. Also, IF the baffle is not installed or is damaged, that will cause LP performance problems. So, you really need to pull the refer and pull the baffle to verify the spiral condition of the baffle. Has the Cooling unit ever been replaced???? If so, then a common mistake from inexperienced installers is to FORGET to transfer the baffle from the old cooling unit. Dometic does not and rebuilders do not supply new baffles on their cooling units. Only Norcold supplies new baffles on their cooling units. Doug
