Dometic model RM2663 Bo Blowing fuses

I have been trying to answer this for over an hour. I moved to a different browser.

did you know this model was the subject of a recall?

Refrigerator Recall ' Dometic.com

Please note the following combination of refrigerator model and serial numbers are affected: · Model numbers: NDR1062, RM2652, RM2662, RM2663, RM2852, RM2862, ...
I have searched extensively for spare but they are all marked out of stock or obsolete. You best bet is to call in a gas refrigeration engineer and see if there is a similar part that can be used. It needs to be something automatic.

If ur fuse keeps blowing check ur power inverter. Sounds like its throwing more than 12 at it. Does it work in lp mode?

sounds like shorted coil for compressor or fan

That unit has a thermostat I believe and 12 or 24 volts to power it. The 3 amps tells me it may be either line or low voltage, see manual. the fuse blows due to a short in the control circuit, a transformer if low voltage.

Have freon and compressor checked out, could also be bad capacitor

Steve,

The three amp fuse is installed in the board to protect from shorts or overloads created by disconnecting or reconnecting components when DC power is still connected to the system. If the fuse is blowing, then you more than likely have a short in the 12VDC system between the control unit and the thermostat.

1. Pull the cover off of thermostat and remove the +12 (or +7.5 depending on the model) wire. Access the other end of the wire in the AC compartment. Using an ohmmeter, touch the end of the wire at the AC with one lead and touch the control box with the other (or any ground source). If you get a reading other than OL or Infinity, then that wire is shorted out in the wall somewhere. If not, repeat the steps for the rest of wires except the ground of course. If all of these wires appear to be fine, you may need to take it in for some more extensive troubleshooting.

Hope this helps,

Jeff

Please rate me!!

YES< this is a "direct ground and either the motor or compresso is grounded--(DEAD)!and needs to be replaced.
