Will not cool on gas or electric

Turned the unit on yesterday after sitting for awhile. Everything worked fine untill this morning it was warm inside and the check light was on. There was a clicking sound coming from the circuit board area where the fuses and relays are located. I followed all instructions on turning the unit on and off ect. Still nothing worked. I checked fuses and voltages grounds. All seemed to be ok. Now the check light stays on but the clicking sound coming from the relay box has stopped. The auto and the check lights remain lighted but nothing happens. I have plenty of gas also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Regards,

Reginald

    Turned on my Dometic 2607 refrigerator after sitting for the winter and after 6 hours the refrigerator would only cool to approx. 50 degrees F. The refrigerator has always run efficient on 120 V. What could be wrong?

    My unit has been sitting for a while and not used. Now it won't cool on either gas or electric. The 5 amp fuse was blown but I changed that and still nothing. A flame comes on when I set to gas, but no cooling at all. Any ideas would be very welcome. Thanks, Jim

Robert,

Did you find a solution to your problem? My RM2652 has the same issue as yours. The refrigerator will not cool and the area between the ice box and refrigerator is hot to the touch. Any help you could give me would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

Is there heat in the back of the unit? If the burner is not making heat there is probably a problem with the electronics. Try the electric and gas settings. If the burner is producing heat there may be a problem with the cooling unit. Check for a yellowish powder residue or an amonia smell. That would indicate that the cooling unit that is leaking coolant. Dometic has a safety recall on some models for leaks near the burner.

Why are my fridge and freezer to warm?

Sounds to me like your freon is low. That is the gas fridges use to cool things down.
I may be wrong but I would get a repair man to check the freon pressure first.. Low freon is caused by a small leak in one of the lines or in the compressor its self. I had an old fridge and the freon went low just over time.and had to be topped up.

Large fridge & freezer in caravan. Works fine on mains electric but fails to cool on gas. The pilot ignites and fridge cools very slightly on gas

IN THE PAST I HAVE TAKEN THE UNIT OUT AND TURNED IT UPSIDE DOWN, AND LEFT IT SIT FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH. THEN REINSTALL THE FRIDGE, AND IT WORKS AGAIN.. .. REASON YOU MAY ASK ? THERE IS A LITTLE BULB THAT THE FLAME KISSES, AND IT SEEMS IT GETS TRASH INSIDE THE BULB, AND SLOWS THE HEAT TRANSFER .. YA I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT ALSO.. OH AND TO OPERATE THE UNIT NEEDS TO BE LEVEL (CHECK THIS FIRST !!) ..LAST ONE I DID WAS ABOUT 25 YEARS AGO..

1998 Hyundia Tiburon would stop after engine got hot and after cool down would start and run fine. Now after it has been sitting for awhile(7 months) it will not start! (it crankes over good) no gas or no...

It's a sensor. I had one that was cracked. When the car warmed up the heat caused the crack to expand and the sensor wouldn't work. After the car cooled it was fine until it got hot again. The sensor is probably gone for good now. You would need diagnostics or troubleshooting to determine which one. You can get a hand held diagnostic computer for cars. Some auto parts stores check for free. You could see if any does a loan-a-tool.

Millivolt pool heater will not ignite

Most heaters do not require power for the pilot to remain lit. Is there power at he unit? If it worked yesterday and not today has anyone turned it off at the circuit breaker? If you have power turn the gas valve off for 10 minuets and then relight to see if it needed a reset.

RUUD heat pump system does not cool properly.

With a heat pump system there are always going to be a back up heat strip inside the Air Handler.

If you detect a faint humming in the Condenser call your local service company and ask them to come and replace your capacitor in the condenser. The humming is from the contactor engaging but not being able to start the compressor due to not having the required Microfarads to start it.

Let me know if this helps

Stopped cooling/freezing still sounds like it is running

The condenser went out - had a repair man fix it,

Heat Pump Stops Working only in the Early Morning

When the unit does what you say does the fan motor outside stop also , if it does that means it is in defrost mode and should kick back over to normal after the system heats up the coil enough
