Smart RV Fridge-Fix Product #5 Instructions
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
cleaner or alcohol. Thoroughly dry the top of the fridge with a paper towel. If the top of the
fridge is not dry, the adhesive on the Velcro will not stick.
