[VAC] Re: Dometic Fridge woes

["Mr. Joy H. Hansen" <joytbrew@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jerry,

Tongue in cheek, it's too bad that you have  what's called a RM 45  rather
than the RM 60.  I'm looking for a door for my RM 60 to fit in my '69
Safari.

It seems unusual that the aluminum plates in  your affixed to your
refrigerator are rusted.  Is this the plate in the front that gives the
model number, etc. or  the one on the back that references something else?

My unit has two thermostats.  One for LP, and one for Electric.  Are  you
having problems with both?  Which one if only one?

My unit is configured so a switch must turn off the electric when the LP is
turned on.  Visa versa, the electric must be turned off to operate the LP.
Do you have two thermostats, one on the left and another on the right?  One
for the LP and another for the electric?  Possibly a knob has broken off or
fallen off?

Maybe both electric and LP are running simultaneously and resulting in the
abnormal low temperature?
