Dometic DM2672 Refrigerator Details
The Dometic DM2672 is a two-way absorption refrigerator for recreational vehicles. Its automatic energy selector chooses the best available power source. In AUTO mode, 120 VAC has priority. If shore power is lost, the control switches to LP gas, and it returns to AC once power is back. You can turn AUTO off to run on LP gas only. Absorption units take a while to cool, so the manual says to expect a long running time before you notice any cooling after the first start.
The DM2672 also has a limp mode. If the control cannot read the temperature sensor, it runs the cooling unit continuously, so your food stays cold. The refrigerator stays in this state until someone installs a new sensor and resets the system. This keeps the appliance working until a technician can repair it. If the burner fails to light, the CHECK lamp blinks and beeps. It keeps doing this until you restart the unit, even if AC power returns in the meantime.
To reignite the burner, turn the refrigerator OFF for five seconds and then back ON. If the unit has been unused for a while or the LP tanks were just refilled, air may be trapped in the gas lines. Repeat the OFF/ON cycle up to four times to purge it. If the burner still does not light, check that the tanks have gas and that all manual shutoff valves are open. If it still fails, call a service center.
Leveling matters for an absorption unit. The refrigerator must be level when the RV is parked for several hours, because running noticeably out of level can stop it cooling. It does not need to be level while you are driving. Cooling may be weaker in sub-zero weather, which the manual describes as normal. Before refueling, shut off all LP gas appliances so gasoline fumes cannot reach the burner flame.
For food storage, the coldest spots are under the cooling fins and at the bottom of the cabinet. The upper door shelves are the warmest. Cover your food, let hot items cool to room temperature first, and leave space for air to circulate. The freezer is not designed for deep- or quick-freezing. Let meat and fish chill in the refrigerator before moving them to the freezer. Put ice cube trays in direct contact with the freezer surface.
Shelves come out without tools other than a flat-bladed screwdriver: remove the shelf locks, slide the shelf left to release the plastic caps, then tilt it out. If your unit has an ice maker, it is controlled by a bale arm. Raise the arm about 1-1/2 hours before you travel so the water in the mold freezes and does not spill. To change cube size, turn the adjusting screw, no more than one revolution at a time.
For maintenance, defrost with the doors open and the drip tray in place. Do not use a hot-air blower. Clean the interior liner with a mild solution of baking soda and water. Use plain warm water on the evaporator fins, gasket and shelves. When storing the unit, use the door airing position card to keep the doors latched but slightly open. The controls draw a few milliamps even when the refrigerator is off, so keep the batteries on a charger or turn off the RV's main 12 VDC switch.
