Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my thermistor is bad?
Common signs include the refrigerator not cooling, temperature fluctuations, error codes on the control panel, or the fridge running constantly without reaching the set temperature. If you've ruled out power and gas supply issues, the thermistor is likely the problem.
Is this thermistor difficult to install?
No. Most RV owners can replace it themselves in 15–30 minutes. The thermistor typically clips or screws into the evaporator or cooling unit. Consult your Dometic manual for the exact location in your model, or contact our support team for guidance.
Will this part work with other Dometic refrigerator models?
This thermistor is specifically designed for RM/RMD/RML 85XX series refrigerators. Always verify your model number before ordering to ensure compatibility. If you're unsure, reach out to our team with your fridge model number.
