Dometic RM8 ammonia odor shutdown prep

Use Dometic RM8 ammonia-odor support to prepare shutdown and service notes when the owner smells ammonia around the refrigerator.

Owner-safe checklist

  • Shut the refrigerator down and move people away from the odor if ammonia smell is present.
  • Move perishables if refrigerator temperature is unsafe.
  • Record RM8 model, serial, odor timing, yellow residue if visible, cooling status, and where the smell was noticed.
  • Do not restart the refrigerator until qualified Dometic service has reviewed the ammonia-odor condition.
