I have got a rm212F which works on gas but not on mains, (I have not got a 12V source)The mains reads OK on the element side of the thermostat. What should the resistance reading be across the element, I assume that the two brown leads coming off the back of the thermostat go directly to the element so if they read open circuit the probability is that I need a new element. Will I need anything apart from the usual screwdrivers spanners to do the job?
Depends on the wattage of the element most common element is 125w and that should be 470 ohms give or take.
Some 212's used a lower wattage so in all cases;
Divide stated wattage by stated voltage, then use answer to divide voltage, ie,
240v/125w = 0.520 amps
240v/0.520a = 461 ohms resistance reading on the multimeter.
Their not made to exactly so fully expect 10 ohms either side of calculated.
just bought a second hand van, and have it connected to the mains and have had my RM212 working from the mains, only problem i have is that when i try to make the fridge colder it stops working? i.e. when i select temp setting # 3-4 works fine but anything higher fridge does not cool any ideas as to why this maybe?
I to have an RM212 electrolux fridge. Recently had it out of my campervan and when inverted a metal strip and length of wire came out of gas flue. Not sure how to reinstate.
Any one with a manual which shows these compenents
