Dometic RM 761 does not cool on gas, AC or DC. Fridge is level and RV is also level. Profane tanks are full. No smell of ammonia and yellow stain by burner or boiler is not present.

SOURCE: I have a Dometic RV fridge that wont get cold. it

It sounds like your cooling unit is going out. Here's a couple of things to check. Do you smell any ammonia when you open either one of the doors? When you look at the rear of the fridge, do you see anything that looks like rusty water that has run down any of the metal tubes and dried up? If the answer to either one of these is "yes", then youll need to start looking for a new fridge or replace the cooling unit on the one that you have.

SOURCE: our rv has a dometic rm2600 fridge that smells of

Hi,
Sorry to give you the bad news. The ammonia smell is the the refrigerant
leaking out. Dometic uses ammonia that is heated and then condensed to cool. It will all leak out and quit cooling.
The fridge is wrecked. There are shops that rebuild the units. Beings as ammonia is corrosive one must assume there may be other leaks ready to appear. There are RV salvage yards that sell good used units.
Again Sorry for your loss.

I have a dometic RM 2862 refrigerator and smelled ammonia and then heated up but no signs of leaks, is the cooling unit bad?

Is it still working? If you can smell ammonia, I would say that there is a very small leak. Over time, the fridge will lose its efficiency and take longer and longer to cool down. Eventually, it wont cool at all once all the gas has escaped. From what I remember of Dometic fridges, is that they used to supply exchange refrigeration units. You remove the entire refrigeration system and swap it for a new or rebuilt system. It worked out a lot cheaper than buying a new fridge.

I have a Dometic RM3801 rv fridge that was working fine on 120v and then stopped cooling. All the lights come on but the compressor won't run. It is level and the cooling fins are clean. I checked power at...

your refrigerator is an ammonia absorption system it does not have a compressor only a series of closed pipes and small tanks located behind the styrofoam box so; to operate yout refrigerator you need: a propane flame or, a 12 volt heating coil or an AC transformer to heat the system depending on if you have a 1,2,or, 3 way system.
also; these refrigerators will only work if you are on level ground
so check your fuses, transformer and, or, your gas thermocouple:
the thermocouple is a rod that sits in the burner flame to control the gas valve if you see some yellow dust around the back of the refrigerator you have a leak of the sealed system don't buy a new refrigerator just replace the system and, be sure that you remove the twisted metal riser in the top of the refrigerator vent pipe to use in your new system or, nothing will work the ammonia absorption sealed systems can be bought on ebay etc.

Shut it off and get it checked. Ammonia is dangerous as I am sure you are aware. Ammonia smell is an indication of a leaking cooling unit. Time for a new fridge. Sorry.

Dometic rm4223 has leaked coolant. The refrigerator was running but not cooling as we smelled ammonia

You need a new cooling unit. That ammonia smell means that your heating unit is shot, needs to be replaced, and there are a coupla ways to go here.

1) Order up a rebuilt (or new) online, and replace it yourself. (Handyman skill level:fair.) $500.

2) Go to an RV repair shop and have that done $700.00 - $100.00

3) Buy a new fridge. $1000.00 ++

Camper fridge dont cool

I also had the same Model Make. I removed my fridge and placed it upside down, occasionally shaking fridge within a 24 hr period. This seemed to re-mix the ammonia solution and the fridge is working.
This may work for you but look for yellow stains if you see any your fridge is leaking and would require repair.

I have a Dometic RV fridge that wont get cold. It is a model RM 2401. It easily lights on gas, the coils get hot and it makes a little gurgling noise but does not get cold. Can this be recharged?
