My galley fridge has stopped working. Any suggestions on troubleshooting? Can Dometic fridges be serviced?  Any input appreciated.

Call Bob at Northland Refrigeration. Great guy.

My view is that they are junk and assuming yours is original you are probably looking at replacement. They’re about $1500 CAD.

ouch….  It is original. Thanks.

On my Dometic/Tundra Model 750000007 the end of the copper thermostat temperature sensor on the underside of the freezer compartment has corroded badly and I think this is why my fridge barely stays cold. Check that, it may be the problem. New thermostats are $47 and hard to find, so for now I'm using it as a cooler. Andy.

My original Isotherm 120 keeps freezing up so a replacement is on the way. 18 years is not bad…

@icoultha a freezing problem could be an easy repair. Dirty condenser or a bad condenser fan motor, bad t-stat or low freon. If its low find the leak and have it charged.

Yeah @LaRea it could be any one of those and also the door seal. Had less ice build up in freezer after heating the seal with a hair dryer a while ago and that is likely it. Right bottom hinge isn’t the best and can’t get that or the seal and given many here have replaced there at less than 18 years old, it may be just time. I’d rather not be away for a week and lose the fridge. Plus the replacement is AC/DC, this is just DC so sucking on the battery and charger all the time.
