Many many thanks to Hogone!
I tried cycling the temp control and the fridge kicked in perfectly! I could have made ice cubes in the little freezer section! Who knows why or how this makes any sense, but apparently it works for the fridge's electronic brain. |

We too have had no problems all three ways the refrigerator works. I am presently using it on 110 volts all that is in the freezer is frozen solid. Twelve volts is the only way it will not operate the freezer at its best. David and Danette

I'll echo the last 4 posts ... 1 year in and not a single problem or issue with our fridge.

Yep, ours has been perfect. I have it on and cooling right now, turned it on Saturday afternoon, yesterday after church I threw my instant read in the freezer area and it was 10F, the fridge section was 34F in the crisper drawer.. We have noticed no difference in performance no matter the power source.
The fridge in the 'stream is nearly 40 years old, only two way, still runs perfect also. I did have to replace the door gaskets a couple years ago on it. |

We are on our third season with the Dometic fridge. No problems so far. I did do something I normally do not do, I bought an extended 2 year warranty as my dealer said the 3 way fridge is about the only thing that causes a problem and could be a little expensive to repair. so far, so good. The extended warranty was fairly reasonable cost wise. I understand the 3 way fridges are rather expensive.

We must be the odd ball....no issues to report, all has always been good with our frig and has always kept the stuff in the freezer frozen, even in AZ. Goose

I have found the Norcolds to be a much better product then the Dometic, I will be pulling out the Rpods Dometic and replacing with a Norcold. (Someday)

I found a 1.6 cubic foot model last night which claimed to use a compressor. No amperage spec, but I remember using my Kill-A-Watt on my old dorm fridge a while ago and it wasn't much. The fridge is now at my wife's work location so I can't test it again to get an exact number.
