Now I would wonder why the switch tripped.

Either from age or heat,  where I park my coach that side is maybe 3 feet from the south side of a steel building.  I think this stuff was added last Jan at FOT for the Dometic fridge recalls.

Dakota Slim is correct, that is the Dometic "fix" for their overheat/fire problem...............sheet metal and a thermocouple.

That is it exactly, Dometic did not charge for the kit but they did not pay for the install.

So if you have a RM 2852 Dometic fridge and you dont have all the extra sheet metal and limit switch you may want to look into getting it for safety??

I have a newer coach now, with a Norcold, but now I remember that I had the Dometic (RM3662) recall fix done on my old coach. Camping World installed it for free.

That is your high limit "cut out" now you should monitor it closely to see why it tripped in the first place. Possibly out of level for a while?

You may want to consider the ARP protection device to auto shut down the fridge if boiler temps get too high. It will reset itself when temps return to a safe
Level.

Good advice/good device.
