Why is my Dometic RMSL8500 Refrigerator not cooling sufficiently?
- N
  Nicole VargasAug 12, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Dometic Refrigerator might not be cooling well enough. It could be due to inadequate ventilation – ensure that the ventilation grilles are not covered. The thermostat setting might be too low, so try setting it to a higher level. Also, a heavily frosted condenser can cause this issue; make sure the refrigerator door closes properly. Avoid storing too much warm food at once; let it cool down first. 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.

  If your Dometic Refrigerator isn't cooling while in gas operation mode, verify the gas cylinder isn't empty and replace it if it is. Ensure the upstream shut-off device is open. If there's air in the gas pipe, switch off the appliance and restart it, repeating this procedure 3-4 times if necessary.

What to do if Dometic RMSL8500 does not cool in 230V operation?

  If your Dometic Refrigerator isn't cooling when running on 230V, start by checking the on-board fuse and replacing it if defective. Ensure the vehicle is properly connected to a mains power supply. If you have an AES system, the refrigerator might switch to gas operation due to insufficient mains supply voltage; it will automatically switch back when the voltage is adequate. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, contact Dometic Customer Service, as the heating element may be defective.

  If your Dometic Refrigerator isn't cooling when operating on 12V, first check the on-board fuse and replace it if necessary. Ensure the on-board battery isn't discharged; check and charge it if needed. The engine must be running for it to cool. If none of these solutions work, please inform Dometic Customer Service, as the heating element may be defective.

  If your Dometic Refrigerator isn't cooling when running on 240V, check the on-board fuse and replace it if it's defective. Ensure the vehicle is properly connected to a mains power supply. If you have an AES (Automatic Energy Selector) model, it might switch to gas operation if the mains supply voltage is insufficient; it will automatically switch back to 230V when the voltage is adequate. If these steps don't resolve the issue, please inform the Dometic Customer Service, as the heating element might be defective.
