Product Q&A

• How often do I need to service my Dometic RV/Caravan appliances?

  Dometic recommend servicing their gas appliances on a yearly basis, even if the vehicle has not been used. Additionally, bear in mind that insects can built nests in the gas appliances which will cause the appliances to stop working. It can also cause potentially dangerous scenarios.

  For other appliances, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, to ensure the appliances to work efficiently and last longer it is recommended to clean the condenser.

• Does the Dometic Fridge range come with all parts needed to install and operate?

  Hi there, an upright Dometic 3 Way Fridge requires correct installation and ventilation to ensure optimum performance and safe operation. You can see listed on the product page under the Accessory List there are Vents and Gas Flue kits required as part of the installation. On the INSTALLATION GUIDE  document, you can see what recommended vents and gas flues go with your particular sized fridge.  

  For customers buying a Dometic fridge to replace their existing one, they often already have the required installation accessories (vents and flues) and may not need to add them to their fridge purchase. Thanks.

• I am traveling to Darwin and I have heard that some 3 way fridges are better than others at performing in tropical climates with very high ambient temperatures. Which one of these models is “T” rated?

  Thanks very much for the inquiry. Climate Class Ratings for 3 - Way Fridges are a hot topic (pun intended). The European Union (CEN) fridge performance standard is becoming increasingly accepted and the main rating that caravan enthusiasts look out for is the “T” rating.

  Climate class ratings are as follows: 

  T Rating (tropical) - are designed and rated to work up to 43 degrees C

  ST Rating (sub-tropical) - are designed and rated to work up to 36 degrees C

  SN and N (sub normal and normal) - are designed and rated to work up to 32 degrees C.

   

  All of the Dometic [RM] range of fridges are T - Rated, Except the RM2350, RM2355. 

  The RM8501, RM2355 and RM2350 are ST rated

• What is the main difference between UES and AES?

  Universal Energy Selection (UES), can operate both in auto or manual selection mode.  Basically has both functions of Automatic Energy Selection (AES) and Manual Energy Selection (MES) in one. The user can select if they want auto or not. 

  AES, operates in auto selection only, does not have a manual mode apart from gas operation with the AES function turned off. 

• With regards to the Dometic Waeco Upright fridge models. Can I choose which side of the door the hinge goes on?

  Yes.

  Some models require the customer to choose a hinge position prior to delivery. You will notice a Left Or Right Hand hinge option on the product page.

  With all the other models you will be supplied with a hinge conversion kit. The door will come with the hinge on the right hand side as standard. You can easily change it over using the kit. Feel free to view the Installation instructions on the product page for each model.

• The Dometic RM4606. When running on 12v D+ what is the current draw in amps per hour. For others reading this D+ relates to the 12v from the vehicle generation system when the ignition is turned on. (it is best to have the motor running as you will draw

  Hi Graeme,

  Based on the power data in the user manual, this fridge requires 22.9A from the 12V connection.

  You will also be required to have a 30A fuse on this connection.

• Do you require a 12v DC power supply to operate fridge on gas or 240v mains power?

  Not all Dometic 3-Way Absorption Fridge models. Models such as the RM2350, RM2453, RM2553, RM4601, RUA6408X and RUA8408X are manually selected to gas and have a push button ignition which means they do not need a 12v electrical connection ie they are manual ignition. They reduce gas flame to a pilot flame when not needing to cool further/cycle off and increase flame when they do. 
  
  On the other hand all MES - Manual Energy Selection , AES - Automatic Energy Selection  & UES (Selectable AES & MES modes) all require a 12v feed to give basic function even on AC power.  One of the things this enables is the engaging of the gas supply and the ignition of the gas. 
  
  The MES/AES/UES models disengage gas supply when cycling. When cycling back on the gas supply is engaged and the ignition automatically & electronically engaged.
