Dometic RM7732 Fridge takes 48hrs to cool
Hey,
I have a 1999 Discovry with what I beleive is the original fridge in it, a Dometic RM7732. When we go to cool it down for the first time for a trip, it takes 48hrs to cool down. It's on 120v when doing so. Once cooled, the freezer gets to 17º and the fridge to the 39-42º range. Seems to hold it there fairly well. I know these are not the most efficient things. I checked the heating elements thinking one may have gone bad so it is slower thans should be. But, they are both drawing the same amperage. I have not tried it on gas from a dead start. The RV usually has the roof A/C on to about 80º if it's really hot outside. I know hot temps outside can be a bit to overcome.
Is this normal? Anyone else have the issue?
