Is there a thermocouple in a RV refrigerator?

Thermocouple in the Refrigerator. While the presence of a thermocouple in a refrigerator may seem odd, especially to those renting RVs for the first time, gas-powered fridges are not uncommon in RVs as well as in normal homes.

Why is my Dometic RM 2652 not cooling?

If you can get it to operate on propane the possibilities change markedly. If you don’t have propane available, the 120V heating element should be checked as it can cause it not to cool, with power available and the fuse good. The element in yours should read 44 ohms through it with power removed.

Why does my thermocouple keep giving me wrong readings?

Examine the area for rust, dirt, soot or similar materials and if present around the thermocouple, clean them away. Occasionally, these things can prompt a thermocouple to give off the wrong readings.

How do you test continuity on a thermocouple?

Confirm that your multimeter has continuity by setting it to read ohms and touching the leads together. The meter should read 0 or very close to it. Switch the settings to read millivolts, and then connect your meter’s test leads to the wires of the thermocouple.
