Expert's Assistant chatimg
Customer: RV was plugged into wrong 30 amp outlet. Fried Microwave and inverter. Now AC not cooling. Is the anything protecting the compressor besides the breaker in the panel, or is the AC fried also?
JA: Have you checked all the fuses? Do you have a wiring diagram?
Customer: No wiring diagram for the Dometic Unit. Didn’t realize there were fuses between the breaker and the compressor. The fan does work
JA: What is the model/year of your RV?
Customer: 2014 Premier Ilya lite by bullet 34BHPR
JA: Are you fixing your Premier yourself? What have you tried so far?
Customer: If I can. It is plugged up to correct 30amp power supply and have a new power converter on order. No breakers in panel are tripped. Fan runs fine, compressor not kicking on
JA: Anything else you want the mechanic to know before I connect you?
Customer: I think that is it

Hi! My name is ***** ***** I can assist you with this. I may need some additional information from you first in order to give a complete answer.

Customer
Ok thanks

No way to tell without some testing. Do you have or can you come up with a small digital multimeter? That would be the fastest way to track down the damage.

Customer
I have one

Without a converter most all the appliances like the A/C and the fridge and water heater and furnace won't work. They all have 12 VDC controls.

Customer
Got it. I have a new converter on order and should have it by Friday.
Customer
I think I accidentally hit call me. No need to do so

Super! Get back to me later when you get that. No call.

Customer
Thank you. I will contact you Friday

Hi Randall. New converter installed and AC working fine. Fridge not working. 3amp fuse was good. 5amp blown and I replaced it.dometic DM2852RBFX

Is there at least 12 VDC to the board? If not check the hi limit switch on the flue to see if that is tripped or bad. If there is and no 12 VDC through the 3 amp fuse then let me know or consult the manual. See the attached link. Print this out so you have it. http://www.nancyemmert.com/region6/Resources/NewDometicRefrigeratorManual.pdf

Customer
Fridge not working w/ AC. Freezer is getting cold /LP, but fridge not. Not sure how long it takes fridge to cool down. Been running on LP for 1.5 hrs

If the LP working pressure is too low it won't cool well. And it can take up to 6 hours to fully stabilize sometimes.

Customer
Ok . Will let itrun and let you know
Customer
Fridge and freezer cooling on LP only. I do have 12v across the 3 amp fuse

What about the 5 amp fuse? And did you check the heating element to see if that was good? Good AC voltage to it or not?

Customer
5 amp fuse good. How do I check the heating element. We have 110v going to it
Customer
Ok. Disconnected AC power and have no resistance between J7 & J8 of heatng element

In the manual. Use the meter on ohms. Want to see about 48 ohms.

No resistance then no good.

Customer
Doesn’t ohm at all. No resistance

Got that. No good. Get a new one and install it.

Just checking back in to see if you were able to get a new element and resolve this?

Customer
Just had someone replace it early this am and it is working great. Thank you very much!

Great! And you are most welcome!
