Why is my Dometic RC not cooling properly?

  If your Dometic Refrigerator isn't cooling well and the interior temperature is rising, consider these potential causes: The ambient temperature may be too high, or there might be insufficient ventilation. Try moving the refrigerator to a cooler location with better air circulation and clean the condenser. Also, a faulty fan can cause poor cooling, so replace the fan if necessary. If the battery capacity is exhausted, charge the battery.

  If your Dometic Refrigerator's compressor isn't running when connected to an AC supply, it could be due to a few reasons. Check for interruptions in the supply cable and establish a connection. If installed, the main switch or the additional supply line fuse might be faulty and need replacement. The electric circuit between the pins in the compressor might be interrupted, requiring compressor replacement. High ambient temperature, insufficient ventilation, or a dirty condenser can also cause this; consider moving the refrigerator to a cooler, well-ventilated area and cleaning the condenser. In some cases, the compressor itself may be defective, and require replacement.

  Laura CollinsAug 16, 2025
  If your Dometic Refrigerator is making unusual noises, it could be that a component of the refrigerant circuit is touching the wall, in this case, bend the component carefully away from the obstruction. Alternatively, a foreign body might be jammed between the cooling unit and a wall; if so, remove the foreign body.
