  Your Dometic Refrigerator might not be cooling well due to several reasons. The burner jet or burner could be dirty or clogged, requiring cleaning. Low LP gas pressure at the burner could be the cause; in this case, set the main regulator so the pressure does not drop below 11 inches of water column at the pressure tap. The burner might not be located properly under the flue tube and needs relocation, or the burner may be damaged and require replacement. Also, check the refrigerator's level and defrost it if needed. Ensure the flue baffle is properly inserted in the flue tube.

  If your Dometic Refrigerator isn't cooling properly, start by cleaning a dirty or clogged burner jet or burner. Ensure the refrigerator is level and defrost it. If the LP gas pressure is low at the burner, adjust the main regulator to maintain a pressure above 11 inches of water column at the pressure tap. Also, make sure the burner is correctly positioned under the flue tube, and that the flue baffle is properly inserted in the flue tube. If the burner is damaged, consider replacing it. For the thermostat settings, see Operating Instructions, part Thermostat.
