Well , the cooling fins are metal ...
We have a camper with a dual-power refr. unit . It stopped
suddenly on Monday ... It's a Dometic RM2652 unit , if that helps
. I haven't been onsite to diagnose yet , but have downloaded a
few pages of diagnostics to my thumb drive . Preliminary
indications are towards a main board gone T/U ...
Does anyone here have any info on common weaknesses of these
units ? Is the main board a "usual suspect" when they just die ?

Still learnin' ...


Have had a thermocouple go bad. Bad connection on the 110v side
and bad thermocouple on the gas side.

I had one quit because a wire came loose. There are some things
inside the cover that need a tester and a trained tech, but some
things, like spider webs and mud dauber nests and hanging wires are
obvious fixes. Steve


I found the bad AC connection when pulling out the gas thermocouple. The
spade connector was not in the spade part, but was touching, at
least for a while, inside the plastic shield.

Hopefully it'll be something simple like that loose wire or blocked
airflow . Thanks to both of you !

My BIL, who is not mechanically inclined, plus lazy, took his to the dealer.
It sat two weeks. He finally went over and raised hell. The manager had
the tekkie look at it. He found a broken wire and a spiders nest. Fixed it
in five minutes. Charged him $180 for two hours labor.
Sometimes, one can fix them. Other times, it's time to take it to the shop.
If you know anyone familiar with electronics, they can help trouble shoot a
relay or other device very inexpensively. They are expensive to have worked
on because there aren't a lot of people who are familiar with them, and
secondly, they got you by the grapes.
