Dometic rm2652 frige just stopped working, gas nor

what is the yellow residue around heating element? my fridge just isnt working right and sometimes stops all together, the freezer worked until lastnight but fridge hasnt cooled right for a week or so.

The mains heater has a different thermostat. Check power to the heater, and the back coil is getting warm

First thing I would do is check this dometic site for recall information. Have model and serial number ready.

my domestic refrg will not work on electric but will lite on gas. freezer will get cold on gas but bottom will not cool.you can plug refrg in and it will kick the gas off. you unplug refrg on gas will lite.that part of the power board seems to be working.

With the 240V element diconnected, test it with an ohm meter to find it was open circuit. No heat! The 12v element still had resistance.
At the moment gas is still keeping my cool while I wait for a new element to arrive. ..... cheers

have you ever used it on gas normally theese frige have a glow coil to ignited the pilot is it a fridge in a trailer or in a house also the themocople may me defective not generating electricity i woul need more info thanks from gilles

theese wire that goes to the fins are your thermostat probes it possible that your thermostat is defective if you take your thermostat and bypass the two wire connected to it toghether if your fridge works replace the thermostat thanks from gilles

Is there a yellow powder substance on the coils, heating tube or anywhere towards the bottom? If so, you have a leak. The best thing to do is:
1-Find a replacement unit online( ebay is a good place to start)
2-unhook electric line and gas line from the access panel
3-remove the refrigerator from the inside and place doors down(its heavy and you will probably need another person to help)
4-remove cooling unit from back of refridgerator
5-make sure you have enough thermo-mastik for the unit/coil contacts
6-replace cooling unit and hook up everything in reverse
7-turn on and let it cool for a few hours. My unit stays below 32F and works great.

Found the first one listed on ebay just now for $399.00 with a five (5) year warranty.
