We have an Surveyor house trailer 3 years old, lightly used. The last time we tried to use the fridge it didn't work. Mod#DM2652 Ser#81708076. Checked the outlet that it is plugged into, it works, checked the 2 fuses under the black cover, they test OK. The on-off control lights at the top of the unit don't light. The light inside the fridge doesn't work. Any ideas?

That fridge has 2 elements. A 12v and mains 240v/120v. Sounds like the mains element or the fuse has blown. The fuse box is in behind the fridge at the bottom. Follow the power cord to the box. There should be 3 fuses. Check them all. Using a multimeter, check the readings of both elements. Google " Dometic Service manual DM2652 pdf" and page 11 should help you.

Many times they have a clause built into the contract which the original purchaser signed and it only covers items for X number of years and only to the original purchaser. They know people trade out and upgrade RVs all the time. It is a poor way to do business in my opinion. The other option might be to find the serial number and contact the manufacturer of the fridge. Most give you a 3 year warranty on stuff like that.

Good luck.

the dometic fridge you mentioned was outsourced by Dometic and they are having problems. (unit 2652) call dometic at 18888674188 and give them your mod and serial number.

Check the thermostat setting and check you have power from it to the heater if it is an absorption fridge or compressor if not.

There are separate fuses in the fuse box for the trailer lights than for the vehicle lights. Ensure these fuses are good. The trailer lights work without any special settings on the vehicle light switch.
If you're getting no lights whatsoever (no brake, turn, or running) then you likely have a grounding issue. This is usually the white wire on the trailer lights.

Do you have a 7-wire, 6-wire, 5-wire, or 4-wire trailer light connector on the rear of your vehicle?

I have the same problem. I bought it new in the fall of 2007. They replaced the control panel but that didn't help. Next they replaced the whole range with a new one, same model, still the same problem. They told me it was a problem with my electric in my house. Then they said it was a strange electro-magnetic field in my neighborhood and I would have to buy a different brand?
One time with the original stove the oven quit working and I had to re-set the breaker. Everything still works but the clock is always wrong.
We bought all Maytag stuff, including fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer. The kitchen stuff is 4 years old. The washer and dryer are 3 years old. We have had this issue with the stove, the washing machine broke and they had to replace the whole drum assembly, and last week my refrigerator broke. Very disappointed with Maytag stuff.
So has anyone found a solution?
