Why is my Dometic RMDT8505 Refrigerator not cooling sufficiently?
- DDavid Doyle MDAug 7, 2025
If your Dometic Refrigerator isn't cooling well enough, several factors could be the cause. First, check that the ventilation grilles aren't covered, as inadequate ventilation can impact cooling performance. Also, verify that the thermostat isn't set too low; if it is, increase it to a higher level. A heavily frosted condenser can also reduce cooling efficiency, so ensure the refrigerator door closes properly. Avoid placing too much warm food inside at once; allow food to cool before storing it. If the appliance has only been running for a short time, wait approximately 4-5 hours to see if cooling improves. Finally, high ambient temperatures can affect cooling, so regularly remove the ventilation grilles to improve airflow.
