Re: Dometic Refrigerator gets too cold
Latest update: My service guy finally spoke to a Tech Supervisor at Dometic. They have agreed to replace the control board and the thermistor under warranty. So when I return at the end of September they will be swapped out. Thanks for everyone’s response.875Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dometic Refrigerator gets too cold
As stated last night one guy said slide it up to warm it up, which is contrary to Dometic instructions. I slide it up last night and the temp went up to 34 degrees. I lowered it back all the way to the bottom again this morning and right now it’s at 29 degrees again. Very odd.875Views0likes0CommentsDometic Refrigerator gets too cold
I have an 8 cf Dometic DM2852. Instead of the usual gets too hot inside, mine runs about 28-29 degrees, causing items to freeze. I contacted Dometic (useless phone call). They told me to take it in for service. I’m in between camping trips so I took it in yesterday. The tech checked the thermistor and its value on the cold test was 400 ohms less than the minimum. They told me to go home and run the fridge to test it again for 24 hours. I did that and called the Service guy today at 11:30. He said it has to be a bad control board. Thanks to Dometic for assigning another tech person to the case. With another wasted day. Open the fridge for 30 minutes, move the thermistor to the bottom of the right fin and call back in 24 hours. That’s tomorrow. We leave on Saturday for two weeks of camping including a Truck Camper Rally in Gettysburg, with a busted fridge. Quite sure there will be another BS solution tomorrow and no time to get parts ordered and installed by Friday night. Help, Help, Help what should I do or try?2.3KViews0likes22CommentsSolar Panel Expansion
Okay folks since I traded in my 2011 Lance 1181 Truck Camper with it’s self installed 385 watts of solar and a Heliotrope MPPT controller, for a 2018 Eagle Cap 1165 Truck Camper. It came with a GoPower PWM 30 A controller and a 100 watt Mono panel. I plan to upgrade to a total of 4 -100 watt panels by adding 3 additional 100 watt panels. If I was rich and not retired I’d have no problem shelling out $$$$$ for 3 more GoPower panels with hardware. I can purchase 3 Renogy expansion panels (with necessary hardware) for approximately $450. This about the cost of 1 GoPower panel. Besides they are both manufactured overseas, GoPower in China and Renogy in Thailand. So I already know that my Vmp is 18.4v and I need to stay within 17.9-18.9v to be consistent and not lose energy. What panels would you recommend? I have been seriously looking towards the Renogy expansion panels. Thoughts and opinions please!1.9KViews0likes8Comments
