Dometic Replacement Heating Element

Dometic RV refrigerators look like residential fridges, but they have the versatility to accommodate various power sources and features. Some of them even keep cool while running on propane!

If you find that your Dometic fridge is not cooling down as it should, you may need a replacement heating element. Here is how to do it safely.

Thermostat

Thermostats help regulate the temperature of your RV or camper. They sense the ambient temperature and then send a signal to your heating or norcold cooling units system to turn on or off as needed.

There are a few different things that can cause your thermostat to fail. Physical components can go bad, design flaws can occur, and low or no power can cause it to shut down completely.

Fortunately, there are a few ways to troubleshoot and fix many of the most common issues that can arise with your thermostat. Keep reading to learn how you can get yours working again!

A good first step in most cases is to reset your thermostat. This will revert it back to its factory settings and often fix any problems that you may be having.

Water Heater

Water heaters work by heating water in a tank to the desired temperature and then circulating that hot water around your home. They use a gas burner or heating element underneath the tank to heat the water and an inlet/outlet that allows the water to flow to your faucet, shower or dishwasher.

Typically, these systems have a thermostat that measures the temperature of the water and turns the heating element on and off as needed. They also have a drain valve and a pressure relief valve to ensure that the heating process doesn’t cause unsafe levels of water pressure.

The heating process begins as cold water enters the bottom of the tank through a dip tube and is sent to the heating burner/element at the base. As the water heats, it rises to the top of the tank where the hot water supply is located (at the top). Then, the hot water is pumped throughout your home to give you the hottest water possible.

Gas Heater

The gas heater is a type of furnace that uses natural gas to heat the air inside a home or building. It is an efficient method of heating your space, which can help save you money on your energy bills.

It can also be a great choice for the environment, since it doesn’t produce ash or smoke. Additionally, it is much less expensive than electricity.

Another good thing about the gas heater is that it is safe to use and has a long lifespan. However, it may require more maintenance than an electric heater.

One of the most important parts of a gas heater is the thermostat. It helps control the temperature and ensures that the gas burner will only be activated when it is needed.

Electric Heater

Electric heaters are a popular heating option in homes because of their efficiency, safety and low up-front cost. They can be used to heat a room for a limited amount of time or as the primary heating system in a home.

They work by using electrical currents to heat up nichrome wire components in the unit, also known as heating coils. These coils radiate their heat into the surrounding area, warming up the entire space.

All heaters make use of one or more of the fundamental heat transfer mechanisms – convection, conduction and radiation.

In addition to these, electric heaters are a safe and convenient choice in the home because they do not require venting. They are also a great way to save money on your utility bills and do not produce any pollutants or harmful heavy metals.
