Fridge only staying cold for 12-14 hours on AC

I have a Dometic rm2652 refrigerator in my 2011 Keystone Passport that stops cooling after 12 to 14 hours on AC power. The unit never loses power and if I swap to propane it works just fine. I have replace the heating element which was not bad in the first place and also the lower board by recommendation of my dealer. I have tested everything with a multimeter according to the manual and everything tests good. If I shut the fridgerator off and restart it on AC power it will do the same thing and cool for around 12 to 14 hours then defrost and quit Cooling. I emailed Dometic and they said the thermistor is the only other possibility which was going to be my next step. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Its obviously loosing power to heating element. New boards can be bad.

    Suggestion: run the thing on propane. Cheap fix

    Well that's what I did last season but when you pay for a full hookup for 3 months you kinda wanna get your money's worth out of the full hookup ;)
  • sounds like a poorer board problem
    That's is the board where the heater element is connected
  • That's it; You and your possessed fridge are banned from the forum forever! :B

    Oh and by the way, welcome to the forum ;)
