dometic 8555 freezer cools but bottom doesn't

[mooney]

We've read that it could be the fuses on the computer board. Has anyone checked this or changed the fuses?

Hi mooney,

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum and to the family. We have a great bunch of people here with lots of information and all willing to share their knowledge if needed.

I'm sure someone will jump in soon with some help for you.

Enjoy the forum.

Mooney,

The Fridge has only one cooling unit. If the Freezer is cold & can make Ice... the lower fridge should be working as well. Its the same cooling system that cools them both.

I agree that it is just 1 cooling unit circuit. The ammonia coolant that goes through the freezer cooling section also goes through the refrigerator cooling section. Two possible causes for your problem (besides the entire cooling unit being defective) are poor door gasket seals in the refrigerator (test by trying to pull a dollar bill through the closed door seals), or poor heat exchange on the refrigerator (lower set) heat exchange fins on the back of the refrigerator. You could have correct heat exchange draft across the freezer fins and bad draft across the refrigerator fins.
