Re: 1974 Dometic Refrigerator Thermostat
Thank you all for the quick help. Interestingly I live in a heavily populated Amish area. I have two searches on EBay for a Ronco and Dometic V35. But I’m thinking of locating a new(er) non electric model. There are some newer gas only replacements on the market, but they are also out of stock, so that might be related to the supply shortages, as they do make modern gas only coolers and refrigerators. Can’t locate a new refrigerator with close enough dimensions that would fit without destroying the look of my trailer. It’s 100% original down to the green shag carpet. Even has a factory (12v) generator, which must be rare, but pretty useless. Mark545Views0likes0Comments1974 Dometic Refrigerator Thermostat
First post! I have a 1974 Airstream with the original refrigerator. It has a V35 gas thermostat. It stopped cooling completely recently, AC/110 works fine. I cleaned thermostat, burner and burner tube. Now the flame is blue and high? Refrigerator gets very cold and appears to not reduce the flame when turning down. Thermostat valve and bypass were perfectly clean. Capillary tube is not crimped or anything like that. I believe I need a V35 thermostat, and can’t locate one. Does anyone here have one? Then, is it possible to replace the capillary tube only?? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Mark2KViews0likes7Comments
