RV refrigerator is powered but not cooling
A refrigerator that turns on without reaching temperature may have airflow, ventilation, control, power-source or cooling-system problems. Testing behavior in each operating mode helps narrow the cause.

Diagnosis before parts
Find the cause, not only the symptom
RV systems often depend on more than one source of power, control or airflow. We inspect the equipment and the supporting RV systems so the repair is based on what is actually failing.
Norcold and Dometic refrigerator service
Norcold and Dometic are common RV refrigerator brands with model-specific controls and service requirements. We identify the installed model and its symptoms before deciding on repair or replacement.
Propane, electric and 12-volt operating problems
A refrigerator may work on one power source but fail on another. Propane ignition, heating elements, wiring, fuses, circuit boards, battery voltage and shore power can all affect operation.
Ventilation and installation conditions
Many absorption refrigerators depend on correct airflow behind the unit and through exterior vents. Blocked ventilation, heat buildup or installation problems can reduce cooling even when other components appear to work.
Repair safety and replacement decisions
If an absorption refrigerator has a strong ammonia odor, visible yellow residue or signs of overheating, turn it off and arrange professional inspection. We can help determine whether repair remains appropriate or replacement is the safer choice.
