Dometic Fridge not working

[motc777]

Hello:

Came back from out of town, and the fridge and freezer portion were not working. Now, I do have power, in that the light comes on. Typically we run on electric power. So on electric, I do not have a check light, but when I switch to Propane (which I've never run in that mode before) the check light comes on.

I do not smell ammonia. Prior to this, I was having problems with the fins freezing up, and I think that is the sign of a bad thermistor on the fin. I have checked fuses on the front panel and the rear fridge, but none are blown.

I can tell you it looks like this may have just gone out in the last 24-48 hours because the freezer portion had frost still in it.

Do I just have a bad thermistor or what?

Model: RM2652

You do not smell ammonia, but have you opened the back and looked? Are the coils warm/hot?

When on electric, is the area around the element warm/hot?

If you have never ran it on propane before, you should check the pipe and air intake for any obstructions and if it is trying to light (sparking) or not and if it lights, then goes out or is not doing anything at all.

I only run my fridge on gas, so not sure on the electric side...

Good luck!
