Dometic RM 2553 Thermostat replacement

Hi
176airdispatch

Had to replace the 240volt heating element in ours a couple of weeks ago in the field. Could get to that from the outside bottom vent, bit difficult but do able.
Not sure if you may need to take fridge out to do thermostat. Can not remember if you can see themostat switch from outside vents.
Our fridge would only work on 12volt and gas, no thermostat on those two systems, only on 240volt. New element had it working again as new.
Wiring diagram was on fridge at bottom vent hope this may help.

Hope all goes well in your replacement.
Cheers
Charlie

Hi Beware there is 240 volts on the thermostat terminals! I replaced mine in January myself. There are two different types of thermostats. One with screw in gas fittings and one with push in plug type. Mine was the screw in type.
I am no brain surgeon but managed to swap it over without too much effort. I did pull the fridge out to access the thermostat and run the sensor tube down the back without damaging it. Beware there is 240 volts on the thermostat terminals!I will not give any advice on the electrical connections. However make sure you unplug the caravan from the mains before you attempt touching the thermostat.
