Dometic Refrigerator NDR 1492 - light bulb

(1/4) > >>

Richard Cooper:
The Dometic refrigerator I have in my 2001 Marquis has a light inside that has now blown again.  I replaced the oblong bulb less than a year ago.  I don't have a manual for my refrigerator to get the specs on what specific bulb to buy as a replacement.  But apparently whatever bulb I bought previously was perhaps the wrong one as it didn't last even a year.

Can someone tell me what the model number of the bulb, the watts, if applicable --- how to tell someone at the counter what I want to buy?

Thanks!

Richard Cooper:
The blown bulb has embossed on one end these numbers:

17314K25673E610

Joel Ashley:
That number won't do as much good if it's the wrong one.  Check with Dometic to see if there is a printable PDF manual for your unit on their website.

After the replacement, you might also check that the lamp goes out when the door shuts, by pressing in any switch button along the door frame.  A bad switch may be leaving the lamp on 24/7.

Richard,
Take the old bulb to any automotive parts store, and they will have one. The bulb is for the interior light (dome light) in cars a few years back.

The most common reason for failure of that bulb is an improperly set low ambient temperature switch. If the low ambient temperature switch is left on, the interior light in you refrigerator will stay on 24 hours a day even with the door shut. To locate this switch, open the refrigerator door and look up at the panel below the control panel. You will see 2 switches. The one on the right side is the low ambient temperature switch, and it should be off at any time the ambient temperature is above 50 degrees F. The above instructions pertain to the Dometic NDR 1292 and NDR 1492 refrigerators.

Richard Cooper:
That switch was in the "ON" position, but I've now got it off.

The other switch to it's left is for climate control and it's "ON".  What is it for?

Ambient temp here in my coach is 60-70 degrees generally.

Tried to download an instruction manual from Dometic but they don't have my model online.
