The system is sealed very difficult to charge. Not to mention expensive. The same price to get a new coil. The boards that control the operations are hard to trouble shoot sometimes. Do you have 12 Volts DC going in to the control board. If yes does the control board inside show green lights that it is working. If so the lower control board on the out side needs to be looked at.

What do I check to fix my Dometic Americana refrigerator. It won't start using electric or gas.

Fist off before you get crazy replacing things make sure the camper is level when testing this. Gas will not run to it if you are not level. Also make sure the gas is turned on and make sure you have selected automatic or gas only on your fridge. Also give it about an hour before you test the temp. These take a bit longer to start feeling cool. If all of that does not work you will need to check the refrigerant, igniter(for the gas side) and the compressor. Also make sure the fuses are good to go at the main panel and that the breakers are in the "on" position

It was working fine it was unplugged to be moved now it wont work on electric or gas its a rm 760 gas or electric domestic

When operating on Electric, if the rear of the cooling coils get warm and the fridge is level, but the refrigerator does not get cold then it is more then likely your cooling unit that has failed. Visit ArctiCold Refrigeration We keep it cold for info on replacement cooling units.... I have also attached a video with tips on diagnosing the RV fridge,

Has leaked out all 'gas' from the cannister to the down tube. Can this be repaired and recharged?

If by 'gas' you mean refrigerant, then yes, it can be recharged. However, in order to legally recharge a refrigeration unit with refrigerant you need a special certification from the EPA. I recommend you get a certified technician to take a look at your refrigerator

Dometic rm2193 will only cool to 50 Electric and gas is ok

Do you mean it runs OK on gas ?
If so you probably need an element.
If not , you need a new sealed system

Our Dometic RM2193 cools on gas but does not work on electric

It could be as simple as a blown fuse at the fridge. Also check to make sure you have turned on the electric switch that allows the fridge to run on AC. Note, you can only operate the fridge on EITHER gas OR electric, but not both sources at the same time, thus, you have to turn off the gas switch before you can run on electric.

When this unit is running on electricity, it has to have the thermostat set for it to run.

Here's a link to the Dometic manual for your model.

Just follow the steps for running on electric and you should be OK.
Hope this helps.
