Dometic dual zone thermostat no power
Lately our Dometic dual zone CCC2 thermostat has been acting up. Sometimes a couple of the buttons didn’t work. Normally, we turn it off completely when we move. Last time we moved, it wouldn’t turn off. So we turned everything off and left the thermostat on. Two nights ago, woke up in the middle of the night sweating more than usual. Checked the thermostat and it was dead. Wouldn’t turn on or anything. I was able to get a new thermostat and plugged it in and still nothing. Checked the fuse box and all fuses and breakers are good. Checked the wiring with my volt stick and the A/C has 120v power. Even got a new phone cord and checked that. Still nothing. Why is there no 12v power to the thermostat? Am I missing a fuse somewhere? Thanks for any help.571Views0likes1CommentFridge cooling unit forming crystals-help!
BLUF - How do I keep fridge cooling unit from forming crystals? We spend most of the year work camping. We spend five months in one location, then take a month of traveling to the next location. Our Norcold 1200 fridge has been having cooling problems. We had a technician look at it and was told the cooling unit was blocked with crystals and would eventually need to be replaced. The tech even went so far as to suggest banging on the canister to loosen the crystals. We have started our move to the next locale and it seems the crystals have broken loose again. The fridge now works great. So good, I had to turn it down because it’s getting too cold. So, once we get to our work location, how do I keep it from getting blocked again? Should I bang on the canister once a week, or just when it stops cooling again? Eventually, when funds become available, it will be replaced. But until then...2.3KViews0likes14CommentsRe: Norcold fridge won't cool
Update: I put a fan behind the fridge and there was no change. So I broke down and contacted a mobile RV service who came and looked at the fridge. They have determined that the cooling unit is going bad and will have to eventually be replaced. They gave me quotes for two different manufacturers and will cost between $2500 to $2800 for the replacement. Unfortunately we are going to have to wait a little longer to get the work done. Thanks.724Views0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold fridge won't cool
Update: So the weather here has changed and the past two nights have been below freezing with snow. Very unusual for this area. The temp in the fridge has dropped to 45 degrees and the freezer is now about 25 degrees. So is it safe to say I have a problem with airflow behind the fridge? As soon as I can find a fan, I’ll put it behind the fridge and see what happens.724Views0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold fridge won't cool
Thank you all for your input. I decided to check the coil on the back of the fridge and the tank is hot, but the coil above is cold to the touch. Is this a bubble, or normal? I'll try to wedge a fan in there to blow upwards and see what happens. Where is the thermal switch for the fans? The fridge is not in a slide and the vent is located on the roof. Thanks again for all your help.724Views0likes0CommentsNorcold fridge won't cool
Hi all. I've searched the forum and haven't found anything like my problem. Hopefully someone can help out. I have a Norcold 1210 in a 2012 Montana. Five months ago our freezer had a large amount of ice on the back wall so we defrosted it. We turned it off and used a hair dryer to warm it up. Everything was fine. A month later we moved on to our next destination and the fridge wasn't cooling. Had a technician look at it and he removed a wasp nest off the LP burner. We mostly run on AC because of my fear of a fire. After he looked at it, it seemed to run ok, but I had to run the temp all the way up to 9 for it to cool enough. Ever since, it has worked some and not worked some. For about the past month now, the box temp has stayed at about 52 degrees and the freezer temp at about 32 degrees with some frost on the back, but nothing is freezing. I have tried running it on LP and AC with no change. I also replaced the thermistor with no change. Current outside temps are mid 40's to mid 50's. And I'm parked in an area with no direct sunlight. I know there is at least one fan on the back because I saw it when I took a picture up the back to make sure the air flow wasn't blocked. But I don't know if I've ever heard it come on. I'm at my wits end and tired of losing money to food that spoils. Does anyone have any ideas or is it time to just call a professional?3.9KViews0likes25Comments
