We bought our toyhauler last march, Road Warrior, it's been in the shop SIX times for a fridge problem that no one wants to admit happens at the dealership however if you look on here it's happening alot. The fridge works fine for sometimes weeks or months but will syddenly quit working at all and without ever doing anything will start working again, might be hours, might be days before it starta again. Of course the warranty is almost out so I feel they are just waiting it out now.
Hi Terrym,
Do you have a Dometic RM1350 4-door refrigerator? If "quit working" means it runs but the temperature display climbs into the high 40s or higher, it could be a simple problem with the door flap. As you close the doors, there's a flap on the left-hand door that rotates into place to seal the opening between the doors. These can bind a little, or just not close completely, even though the doors are closed. If it doesn't seal, the temp just climbs and climbs. Then you close the door again and it seals, but may take many hours for the fridge to recover to normal operating temp.
One of the clues that this might be the problem is that the freezer works fine, but the refrigerator compartment doesn't.
Dometic has recently released redesigned parts for this that your dealer may not have heard about yet: there are new upper and lower guides that force the flap more positively into position. Part#s 3851102024 and 3851103022. Takes a screwdriver and 5 minutes to install them.
Also, if you have a Dometic RM1350, it has a 2 year warranty.
Spent the day cleaning it up, unloading and getting it ready for storage until the first of the year when we hope to be outta here again!
