Dometic RUA/RUC defrosting and ice buildup

Use this when a Dometic RUA or RUC refrigerator has frost or ice buildup and the owner needs the Dometic defrost boundary.

Owner-safe checklist

  • Turn the refrigerator off with normal controls and remove food before defrosting.
  • Leave the doors open and wipe compartments dry after the ice melts.
  • Do not use mechanical tools, heat guns, or sharp objects to remove ice or loosen stuck items.
  • Call authorized service if heavy frost returns quickly or cooling remains poor after defrosting.
