Hi. I have a Dometic fridge freezer. Getting the sound of running water from it. Not cooling down No leaks. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Thanks

Running water sounds are considered a normal sound, failing to cool can be a few causes. May be a compressor or inlet valve problem, but check a few things, door closes properly all round, seals not split, drain hole not blocked and that there is no build up of debris on the rear pipework, a build up of dust can affect the heating section of the cooling system. I'm sure others on here will have further knowledge.

Thanks. I’ll check all these things this morning.

If your cooling unit is gurgling, then you have air in the system or a bad cooling unit. There is a process known as "burping" that should help repair this. It is a rather lengthy process and will require two people.

1. Access the rear of the refrigerator. Turn off the LP gas to the unit. Remove the LP Gas line and the 12Volt supply. Unplug the fridge.
2. Remove the screws in the rear at the bottom and then remove the screws from the inside.
3. Pull the fridge out and lay it down on it's right side for 8 hours.
4. Flip the fridge on it's top for 8 hours
5. Now the left side, then back to normal.
6. Reinstall the fridge and turn gas back on.

Hope this helps,

Hi all. We’ll I’ve travelled about 200km and the fridge worked fine on battery and seems to be good on mains at the moment. Maybe just a glitch however beer is cold so I’m happy. Thanks again.
