Subject:dometic thermostat replacement?
From:Matthias Kuster

I just removed my fridge and saw that it has the thermostat lead
wire, tube rather broken. What are my replacement options? I heard
someone say that a regulator home thermostat for an upright gas
heater can be substituted. If so how? I guess my Dometic will not
reach full capacity ever without thermostat influence? That tube
being broken means it's not working on high, since the gas inside
escaped? It will only work on low now? Could I tweak it so it's
always on full steam/gas?
Finally found the cause of my gas leak: A cracked nut to the
refrigerator gas valve, on the main copper line. Unbelievable. But
managed to fix that.

I shall finally reach happycamperdom!
