Dometic Refer Questions

[Hocky]

Hope this is the correct area to ask these refer questions.
Dometic Model 2652 gas & 110v Refer. Yes, in the recall!
1. Does the gas NEED to be on for the refer to function if you have 110V & 12v power? With the gas off but 110v & 12V on, the check light is lit, is this only an indication of no gas available?
2. What is the function of the white slide on the end of the refer cooling fins & how does it work?
Thanks, Hocky

Hello Hocky and welcome to iRV2.com. We are glad to have you join us here and I am sure you will enjoy the website and forum. We look forward to reading of your adventures and experiences. Be sure to go to the New Members Check In forum and introduce yourself to all our members. You can also click on the "User CP" button and add a signature to your post that will give your coach information. This help with any technical questions you have.
I would suggest you start a new thread when you have a different concern and it is not related to a particular ongoing thread, by clicking on "new thread" button at the main RV Systems and Appliance forum page.
To help you now; you should turn the refrigerator off and then back on in the auto mode. When you have 120vac and 12vdc (volts) available the refrigerator will use 120vac to operate when auto mode is selected. When there is no 120vac the refrigerator will switch to gas mode of operation provided you have good 12vdc and the lp gas is on. Check the receptacle, the refrigerator is plugged into with anything that works on 120vac.
The check light should not be on. There are a couple of things that could have made this light be on but I will not confuse you with them if after you have turned it off and back on with these good voltages and the light does not come back on. Let us know if it does; then you have a problem.
The white slide on the fresh food evaporator fins holds a thermistor (temp sensor) and moving it downward will make the refrigerator cycle at a colder temperature.
The change is slow and should be given 24 hours to stabilize. I would suggest not moving it at this point.
Above all make sure the coach is level to operate the refrigerator.
