FAQ About RV Refrigerator Electrical Components
What does a thermistor do in an RV refrigerator?
A thermistor senses the internal temperature of your RV fridge and helps regulate cooling. If your fridge is running too warm or cold, a faulty thermistor may be to blame.
How do I know if my RV fridge thermistor is bad?
Common signs include erratic cooling, temperatures that don't match the setting, or a fridge that won’t turn on. Replacing the thermistor is a common fix for these issues.
What model information do I need for a Dometic thermistor replacement?
You’ll need the Dometic refrigerator's model number, product or manufacturer number, and serial number to ensure the correct thermistor replacement.
What does a refrigerator circuit board do?
The circuit board (or control board) manages all fridge operations like cooling cycles, defrosting, and ignition. Replacing it can solve power or cooling issues.
How do I find the correct Norcold control board?
To find the correct Norcold control board, gather the model, serial number, and date of manufacture from your fridge. These details ensure compatibility.
Is it easy to replace a heating element in an RV fridge?
Yes, replacing a heating element is a straightforward task for most DIYers. It’s one of the most common fixes for fridges that won’t cool in electric mode.
Can I use aftermarket components or should I stick with OEM?
OEM components from Dometic and Norcold offer guaranteed fit and performance. However, many aftermarket parts work well as long as they’re listed as compatible with your model.
What’s the difference between thermistors and thermostats in RV fridges?
Thermistors detect temperature, while thermostats control the cooling cycle based on that temperature. Both work together to regulate fridge performance.
