Our 1996 Lance 480 carries a Dometic 2510 3-way fridge. It has performed well over more than a few long distance trips. Including short trips. Always prepped by a tried and true pre cooling process. We've run the unit on propane while driving. It always kept temp. When stopped it's switched over to 110. On both the fridge has kept the cabinet temp in the low 40's to high 30's.
As of now the lowest cooling that takes place is in the freezer. It doesn't freeze, just drops down 10 degree's or so from an initial reading. There's condensation yet no freezing. Previously the freezer would freeze yet the cabinet never reached the proper range.
I've cleaned the flue, burner assembly and secured all grounds and wiring.
I've done the check for the thermistor. It hasn't registered the correct ohm's during the test. I believe that issue is the thermistor the 2510 has in the cabinet. It's of a design I've never seen. Instead of a flexible wire with clip for one of the fins this model is thin metal. It slides in between the fins. It is similar in diameter to a ballpoint pen tip. It's been bent at different angles in some increments along it's length.
We've owned close to a dozen RV's. I've never seen this style thermistor.
What I'd like to know from those in the know is. Can I switch this metal thermistor over to the tried and true flexible style with plastic clip.
Thanks in advance.
