How to fix flashing 'LP' message on Dometic RM 3962SF Refrigerator?
- T
  Taylor RodriguezAug 2, 2025
  If the message 'LP' is flashing on your Dometic Refrigerator, it indicates that LP gas ignition failed. Try turning the refrigerator OFF and then back ON to return to normal operation. This issue might also occur if there's air in the gas line, especially after changing a gas bottle or after a long shutoff period. Repeat the lighting procedure (45 seconds) by turning the refrigerator off and on several times to purge the air. Ensure that the LP gas bottle isn't empty and needs replacing. If the problem persists, it could be due to an obstruction in or on the burner or burner jet, or the burner jet is clogged and should be cleaned; in this case, turn the refrigerator off and contact a Dometic dealer or Service Center for repair.

  Eric MendozaAug 11, 2025
  If your Dometic Refrigerator isn't cooling sufficiently, several factors could be at play. First, verify that the thermostat is correctly set and adjust it if needed. Also, check if there's a power failure. Ensure the refrigerator is level, as absorption refrigerators need to be level to function correctly. Inspect the door gasket to confirm the door is closing properly. Remove any heavy frost buildup on the evaporator fins by avoiding leaving the door open unnecessarily. Finally, avoid overpacking the refrigerator; arrange food to allow for free air circulation.

  If your Dometic Refrigerator is too cold, check if the thermistor bracket is dislocated. If so, clip the thermistor bracket to the last fin on the right side of the cooling flange and center it vertically on the fin. Also, check if the thermistor bulb is dislocated; position it inside the thermistor bracket groove and center it vertically in the bracket.
