Dometic RM2862 no panel lights
Hi, Just picked up a used 2007 Copper Canyon with the Dometic RM 2862 refrigerator at a dealer. The dealer had everything hooked up and running on AC but also had a battery charger hooked to the battery because the 12V was dead. Everything worked. Fridge was cooling. It was an as is sale. Got home and the next day I wanted to run it on propane to see how it worked. It would not start. I checked fuses and found one blown but not labelled anything obvious like "fridge". I swapped out the fuse and also took the battery out while disconnected to charge it. When I put the battery back in, the fridge started up and ran for 5 hours cooling down slowly but steady enough. So I shut it off. I was thinking the fuse was the issue but then read manuals talking about the importance of voltage so I went out and tried to turn on the fridge. It didn't come on. The voltage at the battery was 9.2 and by the time I got to the back of the fridge it was in the 8s. Ah ha I said!. It's a voltage issue. I swapped the battery out and the same mysterious fuse in the power center blew. I replaced it. Now I had 12.54V at the battery and 12.37 at the back of the fridge. I go inside and hit the on/off button....nothing. I checked the thermofuse button I had read about and it could not be pushed in. I disconnected the battery and disconnected the wires to the thermofuse. The reset button now moved in and out quite easily and the thermofuse continuity check passed. Now I am stuck. Anything I have missed? What are next steps? Thanks for any help!1.3KViews0likes8Comments
