While we were on or last trip, the thermal fuse on our Dometic 2872 refrigerator blew. I was able to diagnose the issue while we were away and make a field hack/fix. I cut out the blown fuse and tied the wires together. I'm not recommending that fix, but it did get the unit working and beer cold.

Now I'm trying to find a replacement fuse. The original blown fuse is DF152S and labeled as rated for 152C. Most of the replacement fuses are rated for 157C. Does anyone know what the letters in the fuse indicate? I've found an SF152E (funny still rated at 157C). Or better yet, does anyone know if the SF152E is compatible with the original DF152S? How big a deal is the 5C difference, I'm assuming not much.

I suspect the reason it blew was high exterior heat (104F) while running in the propane mode. I want to make sure I get a compatible fuse, so I don't cover up any real (other than high outside temp) issue with the refrigerator.


Any thoughts would help......
Thanks in advance
