How does a Dometic 3-Way fridge work?
3-way refrigerators have three ways of generating power: through a 12-volt battery, a 240-volt mains power, or an LPG gas cylinder. The gas flow exchange system extracts heat from the back of the fridge and uses it to cool the internal temperature.
Is the freezer in the Dometic 3 way fridge still cold?
The freezer in our Dometic 3 way fridge seems to have decided not to freeze, the fridge is still cold, but our frozen stuff has thawed out. The fridge is currently set to AC and has been for weeks. We are in Albany in WA so the weather isn’t particularly hot.
Can a AC / DC Dometic refrigerator be troubleshooting?
AC/DC model Dometic refrigerators are fairly simple in troubleshooting. You will know that you have one of these models if the refrigerator has a compressor in the back (typically installed in boats and trucks). Most RV’s have gas absorption refrigerators and these can be more troublesome since there are more components that affect the cooling.
Why is my Dometic fridge sounding an alarm?
We came back in this afternoon and the fridge is sounding an alarm every 2. 5 minutes. We are on 240 v hook up. I have changed to gas and the same happens. The weather is 14 degrees and rain so no problems with external heat. This model does have the alarm to let you know if the door has been left open or the selected power source is not available.
Where is the thermistor on a Dometic refrigerator?
For the RVers that love the heat, we recommend installing some fans in the back to help with the air flow. The next thing to check is your Thermistor (thermostat/ resistor) located inside the refrigerator. It has a 4-prong connector located at your light fixture at one end and the other end connects inside the refrigerator on one of the back fins.

Is the cooling unit on a Dometic refrigerator gravity operated?
Below is a useful diagram of the gas absorption cooling unit on your Dometic refrigerator: The first thing to know is that the cooling units on every Dometic gas absorption refrigerator are gravity operated and MUST be level in order to run properly.
