OK now I'm pissed left the vent cap off all night with nothing in the fridge or freezer and it did nothing but piss water all night in low temperature outside even a fan won't fix this and a water leak inside that is rotting the deck in the back can't find the crack but its there, dometic won't cover its warranty because I can't drive out of state to see a real specialist and spend 300$ on a simple five minutes of diagnosis, stuck with a new dead fridge nothing I can do 6 months working up the money to buy a new one will probably die over this I am out of money food and everything else and hospitals are a no go here most completely shut down no food services for the poor or shelters unless your from another country illegally can't even get help from all the churches I used to go to or any others one county 300 miles away feeding us like strays as we line up to survive one more day I'm done 800$ sunk me never buy a dometic again and will never buy anything out of its plastic new for any rv will be documenting everyone everything every conversation every picture and nailing every social site on the map their faces and company warranty doesn't mean anything on these without a attorney.

My old dometic takes 24 hours to get cold minimum 24 hours. I have found i can jumpstart its cooling better if i put a small bag of ice in the top chest. Once it finally starts going its hard core though and can freeze cubes.

Same here. Around 24 hours to freeze ice. It I want to speed up the process I use those frozen blue ice packs. Original 1986 Dometic . Guess we're lucky!

Same here but it won't stay that way, 2410 extremely sensitive to its level I've found resolved heat issue and discovered burner is almost more then a quarter inch to far down from the flew tube its straight and aligned but flew is way to far away its causing the side of it to heat not centered because it sits so low nothing I can do to get a new one have to figure out a way to get the jet and burner assembly really close to that tube like it should, ugh fought with my generator for six hours just to learn it was low on oil I just changed omg no clue it had a oil level switch always read service manual number one rule for me now and I found the vent holes too it smashed into the deck farfegnugen!!!! 650 hours and its smooth as silk again I will figure out a way to fix that burner issue macgyver ain't got shit on me

And ya definitely right dont use zinc bad idea I destroyed my old fridge with that right at the back you could see freeze damage or something opened up the hole way wide and tore it where all the tubing goes inside the soft bubbles in the plastic tell me it was the evaporator rotting its never been level since I got it freezer always over froze and fridge would freeze my food if no o2 is present those tubes won't Rot at least on the inside but I had tears all along the evaporator everywhere didnt help it would freeze melt freeze melt think that and o2 getting in really was the killer new fridge is or was sealed in everyway except for the crack at the bottom frame in rear I'll glue who cares heating tube is massive compared to old I cannot get that flame near inside has to be it, it was cold this morning on high stack was Luke warm

Um not sure gonna give it a week and see but I carefully bent the entire burner and jet assembly up just a little to see if I was right next morning or really 5 hours later the inside of the fridge entirely froze still have ice in it but it is completely frozen when it would completely melt in days gonna tinker a little more I want to see that flame tip off inside that tube, before I noticed the distance was blowing the flame to the side whenever it was ventilating and it tipped off from the center as a result now its to cold wtf? I barely moved it and it freaks out and works? Tinker wait then pull all the ice out and see what happens but that appears to be this 2410s issue found a stamp on cover Rm 2412? I have not seen that model fridge anywhere but ya burner flame to far away blowing away from stack and I realized back end is bent down a ways you walk up to walk down to toilet its so far bent explains why I have the behind as high as I can get it to get level poor 400 this thing should have ended up in the grave with original owner its possessed refuses to die and screw laurelhurst distribution and ac fridge repair service still ignoring me I should not have to fix this myself a new fridge is supposed to work like a new fridge should not be macgyvering things to work. Sick of repairing what I buy knew or what a shop screws up in repairs at 150$ a hour or more for a actually certified tech. Its working who cares better then nothing. Could be worse yay!
