NDR 1062 Dometic Refrigerator
Not unless you unplug the thermistor from the circuit board and let it run for 24 hours. If it does not cool after that then your cooling unit is bad.

Tell him to remove the strainer, remove cap tube, blow out system with nitrogen, install new strainer/ filter drier, install new cap tube and charge, you should be as good as new. Hope this helps.
How do I install the
You have to take the hinges off and reinstall as you are putting the doors back on
Work on gas but not on electric.
This is an absorbtion type of refrigerator and it relies on heat to produce a secondary cooling cycle.
The electric heater element has probably open circuited or rust has formed an insulating barrier around the heater prevrnting heat transfer. It is best to get a technician to check it for you
Freezer remains frozen but refrigerator is 52
Electrical: A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-
amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required.

COOLING
Dust on the condenser coils can cause overheating, observe safety precautions then clean coils. Switch off the unit before you clean them. If the problem persists, test the compressor for overheating. Overheating will cause many problems with cooling ability. Leave the unit unplugged for 3 hours and plug it in again. If it starts working, the compressor is probably overheating (Observe cautions with food going bad). A simple cause of the problem might also be that there is not enough airflow Lack of airflow is the number one cause of compressor problems and thus an owner purchasing another unit for hundreds of dollars when you can fix it for free.There should be at least several inches distance between the sides and walls/cupboards/ceiling.
Electrical
There is an in-line fuse mounted in the line supplying the power to the ice-maker. It is in the wire clipped to the side, change out this fuse asap. It is actually a 20-amp fused, associated with the grounded electrical supply.

TIME TO CHANGE YOUR FILTER
While your on the back of the system, please check the filter. There is a filter in the back of the fridge in the upper right hand side. If you do not change it, it will slow down the frig and burn it out permanently
RV frig: won't run efficiently on gas
Hi Mitch,
Couple things to check, but they are going to take some time to do them.
First, check the burner area, and especially the burner itself. It should be free of debris, and have a nice blue flame when it is lit. The flame should be centered in the burner area.
Second, and this requires going on top of your coach, is to check your burner tube (after fridge has been turned off for a while). Open the fridge vent on the roof, and you should be able to reach down and remove the flue cap (if present). You are looking for a little piece of wire that is hooked on the side of the chimney. Pull this wire, and there should be a curved metal strip attached at the bottom. Look for insect activity, as well as the bottom edge being rough. The bottom edge should be smooth. Using a flashlight, you might be able to see down the chimney for debris that might have built up. Run a long thing brush down the chimney to clean it out. Remove the debris that has fallen into the burner area.
You also need to check your orifice to see if it is blocked, particularly if the flame appears to be weak. You can get an operators manual from bryantrv.com under the owners manual section.
By The Way, your fridge is on the recall list. You need to contact Dometic to check its status (you will need serial #) if you haven't done so already. If your fridge has the recall kit installed, did the gas operation possibly start after the kit was installed?
Prroblem with rv gas refrigerator Dometic ndr1062
I assume you've checked baffle distance above flame? Anything changed above fridge, as in clearance, ventilation above etc. Maybe even removed a piece of panel, that was used above fridge for vent deflection etc?
1062 dometic works fine on
In that case either the heating resistance for the fridge is broken or the thermostat is faulty. Check at the back of the fridge if you have power at the resistance (if not, replace thermostat) and if the resistance is still continuous (if not, replace resistance).
Does my old propane fridge have a element ?
Propane refrigerators have a gas burner to create the heat for refrigerant circulation. Some propane refrigerators that were used mostly in RV's also had an electric heat element that ran off a power cord or 12 volt battery.
To determine this look at the back of the refrigerator, you will see a gas line that ends in a burner on the lower left side (looking from the back). Just above that about 4 inches will be wires coming out of the box if an electric heat element is used.
UNIT STOPED COOLING. NO FAULT
Hi, working with ammonia refrigeration takes equipment different then the average service tech would use, and must know how to work with this freon, R-717A If it were my unit, yes, I would have it repaired, but only if it has leaked all of its freon out. This way they don't have to spend the time using a recovery machine to recover whats left. It can get rather expensive. Here's what you do. You know you have a leak and where its at. Get an estimate for complete repairs on this unit. Get an estimate on having a new box installed, and take into consideration the unit being 7 years old, and base your decision on these facts. To be honest, once a system starts to develop leaks, it may spring leaks in other areas of your system. I would lean more toward a new unit due, and based on its age. I hope this has helped you in your decision.
Sincerely,
