I have a Dometic RM730L fridge in our 2006 Swift motorhome, that has decided to stop working. Last two outings I have used it on EHU and 12v, but it doesn't get cold. Is there anyone out there who has suffered a similar problem, and if so, did you manage to rectify the problem.

This is just our second season as motorhomers, so although I have sussed out how everything works, this is the first major problem I have encountered.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Thanks Snowy, that's extremely useful. I am see my auto electrician after this break about another matter. I will discuss it with him. Thanks again.

Hi, following storage this winter our Dometic fridge power selector will only turn on off . No other buttons work, the fridge does work when the ignition is on. Any ideas? Model is RM8401

thanks

The fridge will only work off 12v with the vehicle ignition on and, usually, with the engine running. Without the ignition engaged, you can only use the fridge on 240v or gas.
