I have a 1 year old Dometic DM2652. The fridge works fine on propane but when on 120V it will cool down properly (ice freezes quickly in freezer, fridge is 1-2 deg C) then after a while (a day, a week) it will stop cooling completely. I have confirmed the following: - the resistance of the element is correct (44 Ohms); - 120V power is getting to the heater element; - the correct current flows thru the heater (2.6 - 2,7 Amps) - the element and boiler tube are hot even when the fridge is not cooling. So far no-one has been able to explain or resolve this problem. It's driving my wife and I crazy!

The DM2652 comes with an optional cooling fan to help with cooling the amonia. The fan cycles on and off as required as it has a tempeature sensor (thermistor). We turn ours off at night by removing the inline fuse (glass tube fuse 3 amp) located in your outside acces panel. The fuse is located in a black fuse holder with a re wire connecting both sides.

While there is some fluctuations in temperature in Dometics from night and day, but it is usally the reverse of what you state. Warmer in the day time when the unit is opened more. I would check the temperature settings and if they are correct then check the thermostat.

I have contacted Dometic customer support by email and they say they are "unable to help directly due to liability concerns". They insist that a repair technician investigate and send their results to Dometic. I have had the RV into a tech twice for this but of course it did not fail while they were looking at it. I am taking it back in again next week.
