DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE MANUAL

DOMETIC® RM7030/RM7732 Refrigerators

Check for voltage at the heating element connection terminals J7 and J8 on the circuit board. If no voltage is present, check the 5 amp AC and 3 amp DC fuses. If fuse is defective, replace the fuse. If fuses are good, replace the circuit board.

To check the flame sense circuit of the lower circuit board, operate the refrigerator on GAS mode, then measure the millivolts between J3 terminal and the other wire connection from the thermocouple. The millivolt meter should read between 25 to 35 milli- volts with the gas flame burning. Next, turn the

manual shutoff valve to OFF and watch the millivolt reading as it drops. Note the millivolt reading when Plug 3, terminal 4 (blue wire) receives power. It should be 10±3 millivolts or 7 to 13.

Repeat this test several times. If the igniter fails to spark on any test sequence, it should be replaced.

If the millivolt readings vary more than 1 to 2 MV from one test to the other when power is supplied to Plug 3, terminal 4, replace the lower circuit board.

NOTE: Verify all connections are clean and tight before replacing either component.

G. GAS MODE: NOTE: The PAL tester will allow for proper testing of the integrity of the upper and lower circuit boards. PAL is available from your Dometic parts distributor.

ALL TESTS ARE TO BE DONE WITH THE REFRIG- ERATOR IN THE COOLING MODE.

Before checking the circuit board for gas operation, verify that the following components are good: Upper Circuit Board, Thermistor and 3 Amp Fuse.

NOTE: Each of the following tests should be done according to pin locations. The wire colors may vary.

First, check for voltage during trial-for-ignition (approximately 45 seconds) at Plug 3, Terminals 1 (white wire) and 2 (yellow wire) to the solenoid. If no voltage is present, change the circuit board. If voltage is present, check for voltage at the solenoid. If voltage is not present, check the wires and con- nections.

Next, check for voltage to the igniter. If no voltage is present, check the wires. If good, then change the circuit board. If voltage is present, this portion of the board is good.

NOTE: When millivolts to the lower circuit board are 10 ± 3, the power to Plug 3, Terminal 4 (blue wire) will be shut off. If flame extinguishes during the cooling mode, the circuit board will not supply voltage to Plug 3, Terminal 4 (blue wire) again until the millivolts have decreased to 10±3. This process could take up to 15 seconds or longer.

5.10 DOOR SWITCH

The door switch is an open switch when the switch arm is depressed (interior light should be off). When the refrigerator door is open the switch is closed (interior light should be on). Check that the switch assembly is properly aligned and that it is not broken. Check the switch assembly for continuity.

NOTE: To do a continuity check, first be sure all power is disconnected or OFF to the refrigerator. Second, remove all wires from the switch assembly, then check the switch. After the check, be sure the switch assem- bly is wired properly per the wiring diagram.

When the switch arm is depressed, there should not be continuity. When the switch arm is NOT depressed, there should be continuity. If any of these checks are incorrect, replace the switch.

RM7030, RM7732 specifications

The Dometic RM7732 and RM7030 are two innovative refrigeration solutions designed for those who enjoy outdoor adventures such as camping, RVing, and boating. These refrigerators are engineered to provide reliable cooling performance while prioritizing energy efficiency and ease of use.

The Dometic RM7732 is a three-way refrigerator that operates on 12V DC, 110V AC, and propane. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for those who may not always have access to an electric power source. With a capacity of 7.3 cubic feet, it can hold a substantial amount of food and beverages, making it perfect for extended trips. The RM7732 also boasts an impressive temperature range, allowing it to maintain optimal cooling conditions even in varying outdoor temperatures. Its sleek design includes a reversible door, providing flexibility in installation and use.

On the other hand, the Dometic RM7030 is a double-door refrigerator that combines style with functionality. This model also supports three-way operation: propane, 12V DC, and 110V AC. It offers a slightly smaller capacity than the RM7732 but is still equipped to handle the needs of a small family or group. One of its standout features is its efficient absorption cooling technology, which ensures that the refrigerator operates quietly, making it an excellent choice for nighttime use.

Both models feature an electronic ignition system that simplifies the process of starting the propane function. The intuitive control panel on each unit allows users to easily select the preferred power source and adjust the temperature settings. Energy-efficient LED lighting inside the refrigerators enhances visibility while consuming minimal power.

Dometic has incorporated advanced insulation materials in both the RM7732 and RM7030 to reduce energy consumption, ensuring that food stays cooled even under high ambient temperatures. The sturdy construction is designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, and the units are built to last.

In summary, the Dometic RM7732 and RM7030 refrigerators are excellent choices for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable, versatile, and energy-efficient cooling solutions. With their range of power options, impressive capacities, and user-friendly features, they are well-equipped to handle the demands of any adventure while keeping your provisions fresh and cool.
