Took the old reefer out of my '86 Granbaby. The 12v side quit working. That thing was a snug fit in the cabinet and I'm sure it has never been out. It is a Dometic RM 2200
Removed the burner assy and cleaned.
Cleaned the baffle with the wire wheel. Used a dowel with emery cloth on the drill to clean out the chimney. I must have gotten about two tablespoons of rust out of there.
Heating elements ohmed out good. The schematic showed a 10a fuse inside the regulator assy. I had thought that the 12v circuit did not go through the regulator, but it does.
Took it apart and found a most interesting arrangement. They had encapsulated a European style automotive fuse (the open element type) in hard tar. Broke that apart and rewired it with an inline fuse outside of the reg. assy.
Going to the appliance shop to try and get a thermocouple and slap it back in. It actually worked pretty good until I get in 80-90 temps. Hope this will help, other wise I gotta save up!
