Dometic RM7030 Fridge not cold (unit is running, freezer is cold)
Hey Guys,
A month or two ago I had an issue with my thermocouple, and now it appears I have another issue with my fridge getting cold. I replaced the thermocouple, which fixed my then issue. I don't think this new issue is related, but I though it relevant enough to mention. Now that thats out of the way.
I turned my fridge on (with gas) on Monday afternoon on the lowest setting. Went to load food last night and it was 65 degrees in the fridge. Freezer was about well below freezing (I didn't actually look at the temp, but it was well below 32).
The system appears to be working - burner was burning, freezer was frozen, absorber/pipes were all hot (warm).
Its been about mid 90's all week - so its hot, but not THAT hot out, and in the past when its 105+ I'll see the fridge go up to around 45*, but never 65. The 5th is not perfectly level - I typically have it on 1 1/2" worth of blocks to be level - so its not likely its drastically out of whack.
I'm thinking its probably the thermistor, which I know how to test using ohms.
Are these fridges that temperamental that 1 1/2" out of level can cause cooling issues? And if that were the issue - would the freezer still work properly, but the fridge just not cool?
Like I said - it appears to be working, burner is burning - its just not getting cold. Really kind of thrown off here.
Thoughts?
