Domestic Dm2652 will not work on AC without DC power is this correct. We have been camping for a week plugged into 30amp power. Refrigerator worked fine then check light came on and refrigerator stopped working. Check light stayed on AC and check light also stayed on under Gas mode but refrigerator not working. Pulled fuses nothing, changed gas bottles came on with full tank, now doing the same thing refrigerator out check battery put charger on battery. Now working but is there a internal problem or just battery problem

This is an RV frig correct? It SHOULD work either/or. AC or DC. If your plugged into AC then often the frig will work with that alone. DC is for when you have no AC so you can power your appliances of the battery. Maybe you have a converter (AC to DC which most RV's do) that somehow is not getting the DC to the frig.

SOURCE: RV refrigerator works fine on AC power. Burns for 30 seconds on gas power then shuts off.

tap on the gas valve with a wrench,not too hard but not too light about 10 times,the valve is probably sticky from not being used,re-light and see what happens.

SOURCE: Dometic Americana RM2852 refrigerator does

Have the same unit but experience no problems. Sounds like a freon leak has left it inert. You can of course switch from auto to gas and eliminate the auto switch over as part of the problem. You can see the gas flame in the outside access hatch, (or maybe hear it) to be sure it is getting gas. since it doesn't respond in auto, which would also work in electric mode, I think it is the freon problem.

My dometic refrigerator DM2652 is cooling in gas mode but will not switch to AC. The unit is getting power but the "auto" light will not come on.

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.

Is it powered thru batteries or 110 volts

If it is a domestic brand dryer, it will run on mains ac power. If it was purchased at a solar or camping store, then it may use 12 or 24 volt dc power, if the latter is the case, it would be clearly marked and the power cord would not fit domestic home sockets, unless it was a second hand machine and had been amateurly modified in which case I would seek an experts inspection.

The power on my banshee is coming on?

I know this thread is old, but it came up in my search for similar issue. I own a Banshee 2. Make no mistake, this thing eats electricity because it has an internal Amplifier (you can use it as a practice amp if you connect a regular speaker in the correct hole). And the 9v supply MUST be AC (most pedals are DC). No ordinary power supply will work and may damage your Banshee. You must have 2000mA (or more), 9 volt AC power supply. It may be described as 9VAC, 2.0Amp or similar. Do not try a DC power supply. The plug and socket are an unusual size, probably to stop people sticking 9vDC into it. I've attached a picture of my own power supply that works great. About £7 ($10 USD) of ebay.

My dm2652 turns on but doesn't cool

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

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,...

Since your unit is an AC and Gas unit, you need to find out if it works on gas in order to make a good diagnosis.

But from your description, it sounds like your DC power is not at the unit.
