Dometic RM2607 Check Light, Propane Gas Problem Paul 2-18-05  
Have a Dometic RM 2607 - Check light keeps going on and gas selenoid cuts off gas.

When I check the voltage at the negative side of the gas selenoid I get.002V to a good ground (7 milliamps
current flow)

When I jumper 12 volts to the gas selenoid the fridge will run continuously just fine, only it will
not stop running unless I take the 12 volt jumper source off the selenoid.

Can anyone give me an idea of just what the problem could be? Thanks - Paul

Dometic RM 2607

Check light comes on when traveling (gas) only.I first thought it was the wind/bouncing. Could this be a loose connection? If so which one? I had a new board installed sveral years ago.

Dometic would not accept the fact that the board was bad until I asked them to check it. They gave me this ground problem runaround.

Dometic RM 2607 has strong smell of ammonia when refrigerator or freezer door is opened. Is the unit shot? If so, who is a good seller of replacement?

The check light is on when I plug it into the power from the house via extension cord....any reasons?
Re: Dometic RM2607 Check Light, Propane Gas Problem Steve 6-28-07  
My Rm2607 does the same thing. I just called Dometic and they said they could not send me the service bulletin. They said that I would have to get it from an authorized Dometic Dealer.

Eyebrow Check. When I go through the check process On/off button in the Off position, held Temp Selector button down.
With Temp Selector Button held down, pushed the On/Off button to on position.

Continued holding the Temp Selector down for another 3 seconds.

The eyebrow indicated that diagnostic mode has begun lighting each of the mode indicators lights and temperature indicator lights one at a time in sequence. At that point it did not light the Check light and go to the first temp light. It went to AC light.

Do you think I have a problem with my circuit board. ??? Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,

Where can I find this service bulletin r70/4b march, 1995

Thank you very much

Just talk to a tech. at Dometic, he says that this model had issues with bad grounds and that would be the first thing to check. 2nd he said that there is a new wiring harness (bigger wires)for this model. You can tell if you have the new harness by looking for 1 loose blue wire in the back. I asked about any service bulletins and said that the one mentioned above had nothing to do with propane valve.

I just bought a camper with this fridge in it, and I'm sorry to say it has the same problem. I have noticed that the problem is related to heat build up in either the gas valve or the circuit board (my guess is the circuit board). When I take all the covers off the back of the fridge to get at the flame, the check light will only come on 1-2 times a day. The fridge still stays cold with the covers off. I'm tiring to get a perment solution from dometic, when I do I will post.
Re: Dometic RM2607 Check Light, Propane Gas Problem brad 10-17-07  
Just put in a new aftermarket board. Very easy to change, the new board has an additional ground wire and puts both leads to the thermistor on the board. They say that this will reduce ground bouce. The fridge has been working without problem for the last 2+ days
Re: Dometic RM2607 Check Light, Propane Gas Problem Ryan 8-9-07  
My fridge lights with no problem, after 1-2 minutes. Click. and it's off. Has any one tried replacing the circuit board? HELP!!!
Re: Dometic RM2607 Check Light, Propane Gas Problem Steve 8-21-07  
Sorry to hear that you are having the same problem. What I did to fix mine was just to run a jumper wire to the gas valve. It keeps the valve open and I don't have to worry about the control board. I know that having the valve open all the time could raise some safety concerns but since the valve is on the outside of the fridge and the exterior door is vented with slots, I haven't worried about it.

How much is dometic charging for the board? Let me know what you do and how much it costs you.

I have the same problem as listed. Lights, then shuts down.
Re: Dometic RM2607 Check Light, Propane Gas Problem brad 8-22-07  
The cost of a new board is $210. I still haven't tested the ground connection, so I haven't bought the new board yet. How do you control the temperature in the fridge if the flame is on all the time?
Re: Dometic RM2607 Check Light, Propane Gas Problem mxw1 1-11-08  
I fixed mine today! replaced the lower control board; P-711, cost $145 plus tax, shipping.
Greatest investment! Works great again.
