How to install the Fridge-Fix refrigerator fan into the Dometic NDR1292/1272 and RM7732 series
refrigerators.

Tools You Will Need:

• Pliers

• Razor Knife

• Glass Cleaner/Paper Towels

This set of instructions will walk you through how to install the Fridge-Fix and provide power from
the interior light. Now let’s get started!

Verify that you are installing the unit into a Dometic 1292/1272 or RM7732 series fridge. The front
should have a control panel similar to this. The 7732 has a different control panel, but these
instructions still apply.

Now will be a good time to switch the refrigerator to the OFF position. You will see the interior light
“ON” in several of these shots, however, that was done for lighting purposes for the camera. Make
sure your fridge is OFF during the install.

Now it’s time to mount the Fridge-Fix. Start out by cleaning the top of the fridge with either glass

fridge is not dry, the adhesive on the Velcro will not stick.

Some tips for best results:

If your fridge is on, the Fridge-Fix should be on.

If you are dry camping and concerned about power usage, occasional use of the Fridge-Fix
use will actually LOWER the consumption of propane by your refrigerator.

Don’t forget to turn off the device when storing your RV. Nobody likes a dead battery in the
spring….

The new drip tray allows for better airow beneath the cooling ns. If your fridge is packed too
tightly with food, it will disrupt this ow of air. For best results, try lightly packing the food around

the drip tray.
