Dometic 2652 don't work on battery or propane help please
We do not have information to help you, but if you will contact an RV dealer, they should be able to help you.
Also, type the problem into the "youtube" website.
I am right now working on my Dometic with the same problem.
My local dealer wants $ 1,600 to fix it.
Do some shopping the search engine of your computer.
I will be overhauling my fridge myself with the help of YouTube,
God bless your efforts.

Dometic 2652 has no power from generator or shore power fuses are good have been troubleshooting but no luck
At what voltage? 12 v DC or 110 VAC? Have you checked the circuit breaker in the power distribution panel? Is the outlet the 110 volt cord connected to hot? Is the 12 volt converter producing voltage? The only thing that exists between those components is wire. Look for the not so obvious problems like a wire pulled out of the back of the plug the 110 v cord is connected to or inside the power distribution panel for wiring problems.

Have a rpd 190 dometic fridge can not it to run 12 volt
To protect the battery, the refrigerator switches off automatically if the voltage is insufficient.
Ck voltage to unit. Fuse blown or main 12 v breaker off?
unit should be fuse protected with at least 15 A (at 12 V)

Have a rpd 190 dometic fridge can not get it to run on 12volts
Kind of vague but:
Most dual supply fridges are selective about where they get power. If you have 120 VAC present, the fridge will by preference take that over 12 VDC. So, disconnect 120 V and try it.
Still no solution? Then you have a controller issue. Take your controller model # to the internet to find a replacement.

We have a Dometic Portable Ice Maker HZB-15S and one of the dogs chewed on the power cord. Can the cord be replaced?
First, I'm not a Dometic tech. Though I have worked on commercial ice makers. I recommend you call your vendor or MFR for service. Especially if the unit is still under warranty.
*** the following is for information only ***
* You really got my curiosity peeked when you mentioned "Portable" as most Ice machines are huge monsters! Also as a retired espresso machine tech. I've serviced small Euro type Milk chillers (think the small 'Cola' cute refrigerators used by students.) These chillers usually are 12 volt powered with a separate power 'cube' that plugs in.
* I checked several youtube vids for your model and was surprised it's a 110 VAC cord. It's odd that it's a fixed cord as 12 VDC is usually present in RV's which is the target market for this product. I would have expected an "IBM" style plug/connector set up on a unit like this to make the cord replaceable. But apparently not.
* Since there was no back views of the unit, I'm guessing it's connected directly through the case panel with a strain relief grommet holding the cord in place (and preventing it from being cut.)
You will have to have the unit taken in to have the cord properly replaced. (Wire must be sized correctly, and attached to unit.)
*** Following voids warranty and can damage you and equip!***
* Most cases it's a heavy duty appliance cord (Home Depot/Lowes/etc.). Remove the cover nearest the cord or the bottom plate if it's a wrap around case. Check or take a picture of how the cord is attached to the unit. I would suggest stopping at this point and take these pictures show the "Electrical Rep" and have it matched. The rep may recommend you the needed parts I.E.; Cord, Grommets, Crimp lugs, and crimp tool. OR they may suggest otherwise.
* If the wires are soldered directly to the board or power supply then it will get trickier as you will need wire cutter, solder paste, solder, soldering iron (rated for this type of work) and of course the replacement cord.
* Hopefully it's lug mounted which is pushed on the terminals once the cord wire is stripped and the proper fitted lugs are crimped on.
* Another style is also crimped on but then it's mounted using small nut, washer, and bolt to attach it to the terminal.
* You might be able to re-use the grommet. Though I recommend it be replaced. Especially if the cord size does not match the original cord. You may have to enlarge the grommet hole in the case to make a larger grommet fit.
* Again, This does void the warranty. It's a simple fix for any Technician with an electrical back ground. So be safe and get Qualified help with this project.

PS; Thank you for your question. This is a neat piece of equipment that I will have to check out! Hey, what about Fruit juice ice? Wait, Ice cream? (link I mentioned above follows)

I have a Dometic RM4210
Sure, but I don't suppose this will do the trick.
The fact that is it is "blowing" out is the secret..
It probably is.
When the dealer tested it, it would have been parked, probably in the garage.
There, there was not a wind to blow it out, like there would have been on the highway.
Perhaps you could look underneath and see if a handmade baffle could be made to stop this problem.
God bless your efforts.

Our rv has a Dometic
For Dometic parts it's usually easy to go through your local RV dealer. Not always the cheapest way, but they'll get the right parts the first time, maybe even have some of what you need on the shelf.
