I've used the search function and couldn't find what I needed...
My Dometic stopped working a few days ago. We are in the middle of remodeling it, and have things taken apart, but were cautious with wiring and other things. I had stored some drinks in the fridge and went in to grab one, and the drinks were still "cool" but the fridge and freezer were clearly not working.
The lights on the top for "auto" were on, and the fridge light still turns on but it isn't cooling.
It was rather warm the day I noticed it, so I thought that maybe the coils had frozen but they had not. I turned everything off, waited a day or 2 and went back to it, turned it back on, but still no luck.
I metered the 12v connection at the back of the unit from the outside and had 12.8-13.0, I checked the fuses inside and had continuity and proper voltage at all fuses, so my best guess is that it is toast.
I would rather not pay $1500ish for a brand new one, but even refurbs are going for around $900, and it seems like cooling units alone are going for around $1000...
Is there something else I should be looking for?
Also, it seems like it falls under the recall, but I am not sure if the work has been completed already, or if there was never an issue
Thanks for advice/help
