Title: Dometic RM7130 Fridge wont stay lit
Post by: David Lynch on August 08, 2013, 03:20:27 PM

My Dometic fridge will light on gas, run a couple minutes and then go into check mode.  Last night I opened up the burner, clean as a wistle.  Wiggled the thermo-couples a little and got it to run approx 40 minutie before switching back to electric.  Now this AM it is doing the same this, not staying lit on propane.  Will light and then run for two minutes and then go into check mode???  Any thoughts????

Thanks

David,
It sounds like you either have a bad contact at the thermo coupling, or the thermo coupling itself is bad. Sometimes, you can cure the problem by moving the thermo coupling deeper into the flame if it is a little weak, and that will extend its life for a year or so.

Did that last night and neglected to tighten the keeper screw.  DUH..........  All fixed and good to go.

Thanks
