A Dometic refrigerator in Malvern wasn’t maintaining temperature properly. The customer reported it won’t get cold and slowly keeps warming up. Our diagnostic revealed failed ventilation fans on the rear of the unit.
The Problem
The customer called because their Dometic refrigerator won’t get cold and slowly keeps warming up. The unit was gradually losing its ability to maintain proper refrigeration temperatures.
Diagnosis
We found the ventilation fans on the rear of the refrigerator had failed. These fans are critical for proper heat dissipation in absorption refrigerators like this Dometic model. We also discovered the vent baffle had become detached.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: PF92251B1-000U-A99 — two axial ventilation fans (92x25mm, 12VDC)
- Work performed: Replaced both ventilation fans on the rear of the refrigerator and reattached the vent baffle
- Result: The repair did not resolve the cooling issue
Is It Worth Repairing?
Dometic absorption refrigerators are built for RV and mobile applications, designed to last many years with proper maintenance. However, when multiple cooling system components fail, repair costs can add up quickly. The age and overall condition of the unit should factor into the repair decision.
Maintenance Tips for Dometic Refrigerators
- Keep rear ventilation areas clear of debris and ensure fans operate freely
- Check and clean the burner assembly annually in gas-powered models
- Inspect vent baffles regularly to ensure proper airflow around cooling components
