cajingator Report post Posted December 6, 2019 My Dometic Refrigerator in my 2011 Coachman Pathfinder keeps shutting off and showing an E-3 code. A repairman has changed the limit switch on the fans, the lower heater and also changed the power supply. However problem keeps occurring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted December 6, 2019 cajingator. Welcome to the Forum! 😃 What does code "E-3" stand for? Last Dometic I had, was 1987! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted December 6, 2019 Sounds like a Norcold fridge...that was their #1 problem from 1996 to present. do you have ample circulating air? from outside & in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted December 6, 2019 Most Gas absorption refrigerators have too little air flow to keep them working properly. Suggest you add one maybe two more cooling fans to the back of the unit. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There could be a tech service bulletin or a "known solution" to your problem not publicized. Curious, is this installed on a slideout? If so overheating issues are quite common along with shorter appliance life due to air flow, or lack there of.

cajingator Report post Posted December 7, 2019 I have spoken to Dometic support. They were the ones who suggested the limit switches and power supply to be replaced. The fridge is installed in the slide. Has worked fine for most of 8 years. Cooling unit was replaced approx 2 ago and worked fine till about 4 weeks ago. Been dealing with it since then.😡 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted December 7, 2019 Then do the next step, like Herman & JL did, replace it with a residential fridge before your coach burns up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
