We're about two weeks into our three month winter stint in Florida. So far, so good.
Yesterday I noticed that my fridge (Dometic DM2652LBX) wasn't cooling properly.
I assumed that my electric element must have failed so I switched over to gas.
I went outside and looked at the innards of the unit. I saw a glow that I assumed was a pilot light for the gas but not a real flame.
I let it run overnight but it was no cooler this morning.
I switched back to electric and put my meter on the element leads. The heater is drawing 3A. The galvanized steel chimney is warm but not hot to the touch, so I'm pretty sure that the element is working normally.
I'm getting absolutely no cooling.
Since this came out of the blue with no smell of ammonia, I'm pretty much at a loss.
The weather just took a cooler turn too so that shouldn't be an issue.
Any suggestions?
