I had the same problem and I suggest a little addition to your solution. Because the thermistor is sort of loose in the slider, just take a medium binder clip, ( one that fits over the slider) before you place it back on the fin, and it won’t come out whenever you change the temperature in the future. Your welcome.
I have been in my Fleetwood camper for a year and my refrigerator has been doing this since the beginning. I have searched and searched for an answer, then your video popped up today and I am so hopeful that this is the answer to my problem also. I’m happy you have found your answer I will find out by tomorrow if I did an also. Wish me luck! Thanks for sharing 🌸
You are a life style saver! I have been adjusting that plastic fin that the thermistor should have been in. My food was always frozen. Threw out more lettuce than I care to mention. The thermistor had fallen out of the plastic fin adjuster and behind the lower shelf / bin. I'm pretty mechanical did not see it. It has been freezing food since I bought it used. Many other videos talk about moving the plastic fin adjustment but no one has brought out that a wire needed to be attached to the plastic fin adjuster. I loved your video as it was so striaght forward. It also was cool you had your kid help with the video. THANK YOU so MUCH!
Greetings Jessica, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. I had the same problem. My sensor was just hanging down below the bottom rack. All good now. I did use a heat gun to reform the plastic clip so the sensor would not slide out so easy. I’m sure it came out at some point during towing the trailer. Thanks Again!!
Thanks Jessica - had our camper for 7 years and decided to youtube this - finally no more frozen food!!!! The probe was completely off and we are thinking was never connected correctly. Thanks again!!!
Wow I used to live in bend! It’s amazing! But you seriously just saved my life and all my food! Thank you it started unthawing immediately started thaw! Thank you so much for making this
its called a "THERMISTER" it regulates the temperature to a circuit board when its not attached to the fins it just goes into colder mode lots of places say when you move it up it gets colder but that has not worked for me here. I am trying moving it over to the third fin at the bottom and it seems to be getting colder here now. and I have played with this thing for a couple years on and off IT is 105 outside so I need some ice today
Im not comprehending. If the probe fell off and lying in frig it should be warmer. Right? If you look at indicater on wall it shows the lower the warmer. Why would it ice things if fallen, thats at its lowest? Confusing! Hummm
Thank you! You just saved me lots of $$$$. Didn't have to buy a new fridge. Such a easy fix too. Sometimes you just need a different perpective to solve a problem. Keep up the good work!
Our food has been freezing also - watched your vid, went out to the trailer, and sure enough the thermistor bulb was hanging down. Cant wait for the next trip to try it out after putting it back into the slider on the cooling fins!
Thank you!! I had no idea about that temp wire. Mine had fallen down the back. It took me awhile to find this, I had to change the words and then this popped up.
Omg you are a life saver! Mine came off too and it's been freezing my food at the top and like an idiot I was moving the slider when I even wondered what that cord was for. Live and learn I guess as this has never happened to me! 😂
Lol I was have the same problem with my fridge. I watch this video and found the temp sensor dangling in my fridge. I couldn’t believe it. To funny. Thanks for the help.
Move the thermocouple to the 5th fin when you couple it Up again. The 5th is more accurate.place and works better there. Anther thing is after about 5 years unscrew the finned bit and replace the hardened up conductive paste, you can use two syringes from a computer store as that affects the conductivity from the fridge piping to the fins resulting in being less thirsty for gas and colder .😊
Thanks .. I had seen that piece but didn’t know it moved or even was temperature control... gettin ready now for a trip and will test a bottle of water...
I just had to put a new Thermistor on my Dometic fridge. I ordered the part off Amazon. The model of your fridge will be on sticker inside the door. I had to splice the old wires to the new wires because there was no way to fish the new wire in through the back and back up into the fridge. I wish my issue was like yours but I had a more complicated repair.
I've been so mad lately, waking up and making coffee only to find my creamer frozen solid. Ive thawed everything at least 3 times, ripped the plastic slider out out and yelled at it.. thank you
I have the same fridge. I watched hours of videos of people talking nonstop and not making sense. You showing me that the fridge is colder when thingy is by light bulb made me realize I was confused on how it worked. I just had taped the thingy to fins. This made thingy colder. That made my fridge hotter. My food is like 50-60 To make fridge colder I’m now moving to light bulb aria to try to make food really cold. Thanks for a no nonsense video.
Oh my goodness mine was laying right next to the light bulb like yours just not in the box…. Did what you said and 30 minutes later all the frost is gone! Thank you so much! Felt like the biggest idiot after watching this 😅
My food wasn't freezing but the coils (silver slots) were so frozen over with ice I turned the power off to defrost Set it up how (I think) you did Hoping it starts to get cooler again I have it slid up towards the top but it's still defrosting?
Meanwhile mine is at 40ish but when you start opening it the temps will hit 50-55 degrees unsafe for food. Yet my mini fridge at work is old as hell and can keep up easily set on medium at 90° temps.slightly above medium that one will start freezing water bottles after a couple days say if it is set at 6 out of 10.
What a dummy I am, with a two year old Dometic that suddenly started to freeze the food. I was pushing that little piece of plastic around on the cooling fin, all the time wondering "how does this work? There's nothing attached to it. After watching your video I went hunting in the refrigerator and found the white cable with the sensor on the end hanging all the way down in the back. I was just about to order a new $80 part. Thanks so much. BTW, pet-peeve of mine, please turn your camera phone SIDEWAYS to fill up the viewing screen. Movies are shot in "Cinemascope", not "up and down". Regards,

This was my exact problem! Video was very helpful. Thank you!
AMAZING! We are on a trip right now and actually brought an ice chest for the veggies so they don’t freeze 😂 THANK YOU for posting!
Thanks Jessica - had our camper for 7 years and decided to youtube this - finally no more frozen food!!!! The probe was completely off and we are thinking was never connected correctly. Thanks again!!!
What a simple fix. Thanks for taking the time to make this video to help the rest of us out.
Wow I used to live in bend! It’s amazing! But you seriously just saved my life and all my food! Thank you it started unthawing immediately started thaw! Thank you so much for making this

Confusing! Hummm

Omg Thank you. We have the same fridge and had the same problem. Thank you for sharing
Omg you are a life saver! Mine came off too and it's been freezing my food at the top and like an idiot I was moving the slider when I even wondered what that cord was for. Live and learn I guess as this has never happened to me! 😂
Awesome...mine wasn't getting cold enough until I learned about the lever
Omg thank you for posting this. I hope my issues will be this easy too
Lol I was have the same problem with my fridge. I watch this video and found the temp sensor dangling in my fridge. I couldn’t believe it. To funny. Thanks for the help.

I just looked and mine was hanging all the way down in the vegetable drawer lol
Thanks .. I had seen that piece but didn’t know it moved or even was temperature control... gettin ready now for a trip and will test a bottle of water...

My god thank you so much. I've been munching on frozen apples and unable to make several things due to this issue.
Thank you just fixed my problem!!!
thank you very much! this was exactly the problem i had and it worked great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks this was our issue too!
Thanks! I will check out mine to see if it is the same reason my food is freezing 🥶
Omg thanks trying it now I hope that’s the problem
Ja ja ja it takes me a year to find out about my frozen food in my fridge until I see this video, thank you thank you......
Ha ha ha
Thanks for the tip.
Nice job god bless
looks like a temp guage you had next to light which made temp reading go up and increase cooling inncorrectly
Light doesn't stay on when the refrigerator is closed. It's got nothing to do with it.
I just watched and mine was freezing also. Probe was off to the side. So fingers crossed 🤞.
Shut the front door!!!! Thank you 🤦♀️
THANK YOU SO MUCH! We can finally have cereal sans ice milk 😃😂
Good job girl. You’re smarter than most men who own RVs.! 😂😂
Fine job I never knew about that 👍
Makes me wonder how many fridges were replaced by unscrupulous repair places on unsuspecting owners

I think you just saved me $$$
1:30 Temperature controller.
not the problem with mine and however good to know since I also own a Dometic
I feel like an idiot now. Thanks
Finally I found a video on what I was looking for! I always say you want something done properly ask a woman. Thank you ❤
Did it fix all your problems?
Smart Woman!
Your head n hair got in the way, I couldn't see anything you did. No help c at all to fix mine. No good
It's pretty clear. Put the thermistor into the white plastic holder and clip it back onto the aluminum fin.
