Igniter for 2-way Dometic RM2410 discontinued - replace fridge?


Recommended Posts

As title indicates the original igniter for the fridge in my 93 Warrior cracked and no longer works on propane. It works on electric.

I've taken it in to a reputable RV shop and they contacted Dometic and the igniter is no longer made. They tried an igniter that is supposed to work  but no joy.

Contacted another shop and they also could not find an oem igniter.

 

Both shops said new replacement fridges were in $1k plus not including labor to install.

 

I'm now contemplating taking it out and using a 12v portable chest compressor fridge or compact home fridge using a separate lifepo4 battery, charge controller and inverter to power (I'm not sure how to change the whole original 12v inverter/converter to lithium). If I do the portable chest I could also use in my suv which would be a plus.

 

Has anyone replaced with either of these options? This guy converted a chest freezer to fridge which I thought was a cool idea :P

I replaced the original 3-way fridge with a Iceco 12v fridge/freezer and it's been working great for 4+ years. Made and built for the abuses of riding around in a camper

I run this off a Lithium battery and there's no need for an inverter as these fridges run on 12v. Startup it pulls a little over 5 amps drops to 3.5 while running.

The 12v fridge sounds like a really good option for me too. Thanks for the reply and link!
