PROCEDURE FOR
CHANGING COOLING UNIT
The following categories have been established
predicated on similarity of design and procedure
for replacement of cooling units. Most Dometic
refrigerators are covered
in
one (1) of these
categories.
SPECIAL NOTE: After the cooling unit has been
installed, the initial start-up time can be
shortened by tilting the refrigerator from side
to side and then from front to back before the
refrigerator is turned on.
TILT SIDE-TO-SIDE
Run the refrigerator on a bench for 12 hours
after the cooling unit has been installed (all
food should be removed for testing).
