RM2652 cools great on gas and 110 but will only cycle on and off in 110 mode. Once gas is selected, it will never cycle off.

Have replaced the eyebrow board and the thermistor with a snip the tip adjustable thermistor.

These dual service refrigerators are somewhat tricky. Did you check the gas system for any carbon buildup around the flame/burner area. If the flame is not the proper size it will not get cold enough to shut off. Clean all carbon/dirt from the flame area and check again. Propane causes deposits after a while.

SOURCE: RM2652 fridge works on 110 and gas but won't switch between them

Remove the upper control board panel. Use a small screw driver, open the freezer door, under the control panel you will see a slot on each side. Put the screw driver in the slot and push up. That side of the panel will pull out. Do the same on the other side. Turn the control panel over and unplug the circuit board and wait 15 seconds. Plug the board back in and give that a try. If that does not work replace the upper board. To order a board you will need Model, Serial and product # found on the inside of the fridge.

SOURCE: Is there a 12volt coil in a Dometic rm52 refrigator

What you would need to do is get an inverter to power the icebox. Turn the 12 volts into 110 to power up the compressor. THE INVERTER STORE has aone for $199

SOURCE: My unit works great on AC (cools to 30degree), but

Your fridge has two manual settings to adjust it's internal temperature. Obviously, it most likely has a standard control (1-5 or 1-9 depending on the fridge) that you can adjust on the control panel. Some fridges are preset (no control panel adjustment) and must be adjusted on the inside of the unit. If open your fridge, look at your cooling fins. You will notice a metal slider on a wire attached to one of the fins. Moving this sensor up or down along this fin will set the internal temperature of the fridge. You will have to play with it a bit to get it set properly (with a thermometer), but you should be able to get it to the proper temperature. I hope this solves your problem. Thanks... John Charles

SOURCE: I have a Americana RM2652 It works on gas, but not

My guess is that the element is shorted out not much else to go wrong, elements are not that resilient to shocks and bumps.

Hi will work on gas will not work on 110

This refrigerator is equipped with a control system, which can automatically select the most suitable energy source which is available, either 120 Volt AC or LP gas operation. The refrigerator can be operated in either the AUTO mode (thermostat factory preset below the safe food storage temperature) or MANUAL mode (continuous operation - no thermostat control).

NOTE: Under certain cool weather conditions, the food in the lower portion of the fresh food compartment may freeze if operated for an extended period of time on the MANUAL mode.

A. A 12 volt DC supply must be available for the electronic control to function. The refrigerator will work down to 9.6 volt DC.

B. Press the main power ON/OFF button (1) to the DOWN position.

B. In AUTO mode operation, the temperature is controlled by a single temperature setting, on the energy source selected by the control system. (See Auto Mode)

C. In MANUAL mode operation, the refrigerator will run continuously on the energy source selected by the control system. (See Manual Mode)

In case of a problem or clarification or my solution was insufficient, don't hesitate to post me a reply.

If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

Model RM2652 serial# 44100495 It works off of gas but not on electric. When electric on the lights come on but it won't cool. It only cools when it turned on gas. Can you please help?

I am guessing you have a process type refrigerator. If there is a small flame under the cabinet when in the gas mode, it is. If you listen real close at the back, bottom of the unit when turning on the electric cycle, there should be a faint "click" of the relay to energize the heating element. Hearing the click doesn't always mean the relay is OK. They arch from the high current of the heating element and may be burned or the element could be shot. Each component needs to be checked from the thermostat to the element, in the order they are activated.

Auto mode is electric 1st then gas. If no 110v is available it tries to light the gas. Do you have gas & is it turned on? You should hear a clicking from the back of the frig. Make sure the air is purged out of the system by lighting your range and let the burners come on for 30 sec or so. You might have to cycle the frig on & off a couple of times after you purge the air. Set the button to "gas only".

The power and auto lights will not come on, but there is power (110V)and no blown fuses on he 12 volt.

If you have power to the refrigerator, then access the rear panel and remove the cover from the control board on the left lower side. There is also a 12V located on this board. Check to make sure that 12V is passing through the fuse to the board. If all seems ok, you need to check the eyebrow board. Remove the front cover of the fridge and check for 12V at the eyebrow. If it is there, then replace the eyebrow board.

RM2652 WORKS ON GAS NOT ON AC ALL FUSES OK POWER

www;
Unplug the fridge. Remove the cover from the circuit board, unplug the 2 wires going to the heat element and do an Ohms reading should be 35-45 Ohms. If the Ohms is good then you need a circuit board as long as you have checked the 110 volt fuse on the circuit board.
