Help!
A friend juat bought a Jayco TT, and it has been setting unused since the mod to the reefer. He is getting it ready to use, and the reefer doesn't work. A quick check showed that the temp sensor in the flue is open, and resetting it, it feels like the innards have crystallized.
It holds until you tap it gently, and then opens back up. Feels like an old, bad, TV circuit breaker if any of you remember those!
Question is, where can I get another one? All of the Dometic manuals on-line don't even show the mod!
Thanks in advance,
Fred

Remove the unit and look closely at the bright side. There should be a manufactuerer part number., temperature rating.
Many of these are made by chromolox.
It may even be the same as a water heater ECO

I hadn't thought of that, but my rusty brain remembers seeing yjat in the past! Honeywell Thermodisc makes the same stuff.
Thanks!

Find someone who does Dometic recalls- they will have a drawer full of them.

As Chris said, call a mobile service guy and see if he can get you one.

Dometic will send a replacement No Charge to Service Centers. Call Dometic or your local RV service center and see if they will send you one. The "new" ones have a reset button. Doug

Just an fyi but Chromolox makes heating elements. Klixon makes the disc thermostats.
The numbers that state the temperature rating are usually inscribed around the edge of the metal part of the body.
(I sell Chromolox and Klixon products wholesale).

I stopped by Javi's RV Service in Lancaster, CA, this morning. He dug around in back for a minute or two and found one.
Wouldn't take any money for it, either!
That's why whenever I have a problem that I can't tackle, or don't feel like tackling, I go to Javi's!
