The Dometic 2932614015 3-way switch (the rotary energy selector on older manual-control Dometic Americana models such as the RM2353, RM2453 and RM2552) is discontinued by Dometic, and Dometic hasn't released a superseding part number. We can no longer get it new.
Here's what to check before you hunt for a used one:
- Is it the switch, or the xxxx or linkage? Often the xxxx , the sleeve or the spring behind it fails rather than the switch itself. With power off, pull the xxxx and turn the switch shaft directly with pliers. If you feel clean detents and the fridge works in each position, only the xxxx or linkage needs replacing.
- Clean the contacts: on these older switches, intermittent AC or 12V operation is often oxidized contacts. Electrical contact cleaner, worked through all positions, can bring it back.
- Test it: with power off, check continuity across each switch position against the wiring diagram on the back of the fridge. A position that never closes confirms a bad switch.
- Used/salvage: RV salvage yards are the best source for an original switch. Match the part number and the shaft style exactly.
For a Dometic RM2353, you can see the other parts we still carry on our Dometic RM2353 parts page.
