If your Dometic refrigerator model RM2301 is not cooling despite trying all three systems (LP-gas, 120V AC, and 12V DC), possible causes and remedies include:
1. Gas Supply Issues: - The gas bottle may be empty—refill it. - The flame failure safety device may not be heated enough—ensure it is properly ignited. - The burner or by-pass screw may be clogged—clean or replace them.
2. Air Circulation Problems: - Restricted air circulation around the cooling unit—ensure proper ventilation. - The evaporator may be heavily frosted—defrost the refrigerator.
3. Component Issues: - The flue baffle may not be inserted correctly—check and adjust it. - The thermostat may be set incorrectly—adjust it closer to MAX in hot weather.
If none of these solutions resolve the issue, further inspection of electrical connections and gas components may be necessary.

Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied to the floor of the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in place. In the front frame and in the base at the rear of the refrigerator there are holes for screws for fixing the refrigerator in the enclo- sure.
The methods of installation are shown in figures 10 a and 10 b. It is essential that all maximum or minimum dimensions are strictly maintained as the performance of the refrigerator is dependent on an adequate flow of air over the rear of the refrigerator.

When the recreational vehicle is stationary it must be leveled to be comfortable to live in. If the refrigerator is properly installed, i e the freezer shelf parallel to the floor, the refrigerator will then also perform well.

To Shut Off the Refrigerator To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob A to off posi- tion. If the cabinet is not in operation over a period of weeks, it should be emptied and cleaned and the door left ajar.
To replace the heater first of course check that the wall plug is disconnected. If the refrigerator is equipped also for 12 Volts D C ope- ration make sure that the 12 V leads are disconnected.
3/16” (5mm) and min. 1/8” (3mm). WARNING If the refrigerator is used intermittently it should be checked at least once a year. It is important to keep the appliance area clear and free from, combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquides.
The screws are accessible from beneath. Remove the top hinge pin and lift out the door. The lower pin for the refrigerator door should be shifted to the oppo- site side. The door can then be remounted. But before the front decoration check that the door closes well and the latch works properly.
