Dometic Rm2652 hot exterior, hot interior
Unit is 2000 vintage, I believe.
Entire cooling unit gets hot...all sections including boiler tank, upper and lower tube, etc. I can hear the fluid inside make a pulsating squirting sound about every 1.5 seconds or so. After roughly 30+ minutes of operation (auto mode, gas switch set to off) what I belive to be the gas igniter starts clicking as if the unit has switched itself to gas mode.
When running the unit in gas mode, the gas end of the appliance runs properly, heats everything up, but still no cooling on the interior. After about 6 hours of operation, the interior fins start actually getting hot.
Using 120v shore power, bypassing the RV AC wiring and running an extension cord directly to the fridge. Coach battery is working as it should, and unit is well within 3 degrees of level. I have visually inspected, and nothing is jumping out at me. I cleaned the fuse cradles, tightened the DC screw terminals, etc. Also am not seeing any of the telltale yellow powder.
Any ideas?
