If the Dometic ice maker is over-filling or under-filling during operation, the ice maker water supply likely needs adjustment.
Why is my Dometic DM2682 light on but not cooling?
If your Dometic Refrigerator isn't operating but the interior light is on, the issue might stem from a few potential causes. Check if the mode or a switch is set incorrectly. It's also possible that the DC voltage is too low or absent. The thermistor might not be operating within the proper temperature range. Another potential cause is that the communication wire harness has lost continuity or is shorted to ground. Lastly, there might be a short or a failed circuit in the lower control module.
Why Dometic DM2682 Refrigerator works on electric but not gas?
If your Dometic Refrigerator operates in electric mode but not in gas mode, several issues could be the cause. First, check if the mode or a switch is set incorrectly. The gas pressure might be too low or absent. Ensure the knob on the gas valve hasn't been turned to the off or closed position. Altitude might be affecting the refrigerator's operation in gas mode. The re-igniter might not be creating a spark, or the resistance on the gas valve solenoid might be out of specification. The orifice could be blocked or incorrectly sized. For older Americana models, the thermocouple might be defective. The burner could be blocked, the wiring might be faulty, shorted, or miswired, or there could be a short or a failed circuit in the lower control module.
Why is my Dometic Refrigerator freezing food?
If the fresh food compartment in your Dometic Refrigerator is freezing, it could be because the thermistor is not operating within the proper temperature range, or there is a short or a failed circuit in the lower control module.
Why is my Dometic Refrigerator not cooling well on gas?
If your Dometic Refrigerator operates in gas mode but does not cool properly, the flue baffle is likely out of place or damaged.
Why is my Dometic Refrigerator not cold enough?
If your Dometic Refrigerator or freezer isn't getting cold enough, several factors could be at play. Improper installation might have caused an imbalance in the airflow around the refrigerator. The fan switch could be defective. Ensure the refrigerator level is within tolerance. A warped door could also be the cause. For RM1350 models, the relay might be defective, or the flapper guide might need adjustment. Additionally, the thermistor might not be operating within the proper temperature range, or there could be a short or failed circuit in the lower control module.
Why does my Dometic DM2682 Refrigerator smell like ammonia?
If there is a strong smell of ammonia coming from your Dometic Refrigerator, the cooling unit is likely defective.
Why is my Dometic DM2682 making a gurgling noise?
If you hear a loud gurgling noise coming from the cooling unit of your Dometic Refrigerator, the cooling unit is likely defective.
Why are the lights off on my Dometic Refrigerator panel?
If the panel lights on your Dometic Refrigerator do not turn on, the DC voltage might be too low or absent. The upper control module could be defective, or the communication wire harness might have lost continuity or is shorted to ground.
Why is my Dometic Refrigerator ice maker not working?
If your Dometic ice maker isn't producing ice, it could be due to several reasons. The freezer might not be at the required temperature. The AC voltage might be too low or absent. For RM1350 models, the relay could be defective. Also, the water valve might be defective.

This document is an operating manual for Dometic DM and DMA series refrigerators, designed for use in recreational vehicles (RVs). It provides comprehensive instructions on the refrigerator's function, operation, and maintenance, emphasizing safety warnings and proper usage to prevent injury, property damage, or death.
The Dometic DM and DMA refrigerators are absorption-cooling or compressor-cooling systems designed to keep food and beverages cold or frozen within an RV. These refrigerators can operate on multiple energy sources, including AC (120 VAC), LP gas, and DC (12 VDC) for three-way models, offering flexibility depending on the availability of power. The automatic energy selector system (AES) can intelligently switch between AC and LP gas, prioritizing AC when available. For models with a DC mode, this option overrides other operating modes, allowing for cooling when connected to the house battery. The control panel, which varies slightly across models, includes an ON/OFF button, mode selector buttons (AUTO/GAS, DC), and temperature selector buttons, along with indicator lamps for AUTO mode, CHECK (burner status), GAS mode, AC mode, DC mode, and temperature settings.
The cooling unit, whether absorption or compressor-based, is a sealed system containing refrigerants and other chemicals. The absorption system uses ammonia and sodium chromate, while the compressor system uses tetrafluoroethane. Both systems operate under pressure to achieve cooling. The refrigerator includes a freezer compartment for frozen foods and an ice maker (if equipped) to produce ice cubes. The design also incorporates features like a door airing position to prevent mold and odors during storage.
The manual outlines several key usage features for optimal performance and safety:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the refrigerator's efficiency and longevity:
