Fridge range settings

[Ian M]

I have recently purchased a 2018 Marco Polo which has the older independent control system for the fridge and roof. the fridge should have a range from zero = OFF to1,2,3,4 5 + deepfreeze

My fridge is either completely off or in full deep freeze mode - Any idea of what the problem is and how it can be repaired - Is there a company out there that repairs these issues as I am not confident that Mercedes will have an idea

It's not uncommon - the temperature sensor has failed. You can buy replacement sensors (it's a dometic fridge) - have a search on here because it's been covered a few times. There is also a youtube video (marcopolomylife....in german....) of the replacement.

The temperature sensor (Thermocouple) is the most common cause since it is a solid wire susceptible to breaking due to vibration. It is somewhat of a pain to replace and it will break again. I have the same problem but I use it as a freezer now and have electric (12vdc/220vac) refrigerator for dairy and other perishable foods. We now bring frozen espresso ice cubes (for ice coffee) and mini pizza and bake-off bread (we have a small 2L Airfrier too). So It gives us a

Hi, it’s the fridge sensor. Search on the forum for TheDon and you’ll find the part number, video and tips on how to do. Fiddly but can be done (even I managed it )
