Title: Camplite 21BHS Refrigerator repair/replacement?
Post by: FastEddieB on October 30, 2022, 06:31:24 PM
We have a 2014 21BHS. Due to circumstances beyond our control, it has sat for roughly a year, plugged into shore power. That entire time the Dometic refrigerator worked perfectly. But a few days ago we relocated it to a different part of our property to prep it for a week-long camping trip. Plugged it back in and now the fridge is not cooling. Camper seems level. Tried it on propane and I can hear the propane fire up and run, but still no cooling. There's a pile of yellow sawdust-like material in the right rear corner of the lower access area, and Facebook friends say that indicates a refrigerant leak.

Is this something that can be repaired? Or is replacement likely necessary. Thanks in advance.

My refrigerator was successfully fixed but it was very expensive! The guy brought the cooling unit with him, and he fixed it and then reinstalled.
