An LMC fridge that no longer cools is in most cases a power problem per energy source.
An LMC fridge that no longer cools is in most cases a power problem per energy source. On 12V, cooling only works with the engine running, on 230V mains voltage is required, and on gas the flame and ventilation must be in order. In LMC campers, Dometic and Thetford fridges are common; a faulty circuit board, thermocouple or blocked burner are often the culprits.
A fridge that does not cool on any source usually points to a central problem such as a faulty control unit or a leak in the cooling circuit.
LMC has been building in Dometic and Thetford absorption fridges for years, depending on the year of manufacture and model. These run on 12V, 230V and gas. If your fridge is not cooling, start with the simplest checks for each energy source.
With Dometic fridges from the 7 and 8 series, a faulty circuit board or loose plug connection is common. Thetford models, on the other hand, have a sensitive gas ignition and a display that shows error codes. Consult the manual for the exact meaning.
If the fridge does not work on any source, the cooling circuit may be leaking. You can sometimes smell this as an ammonia odour or see it as a yellowish deposit. Such a repair is often not economically worthwhile. For more background on fridge problems, read our general explanation about a camper fridge that does not work.
The cost of a diagnosis is usually between 80 and 150 euros, depending on the garage. A new heating element or thermocouple costs 50 to 150 euros, a new circuit board quickly 300 to 500 euros. In the event of a leak, the bill can go up to over 1500 euros for a replacement unit.
If you cannot be bothered with the hassle or the costs do not outweigh the value of your camper, then selling your LMC could be a sensible choice. First find out the market value of your motorhome and make an informed decision.
