Welcome to the

Dometic

A.E.S. refrigerator training program. In this program we will discuss the

features, operating sequences and diagnostic procedures for the

Dometic

refrigerators that are

equipped with the Automatic Energy Selector Control system; A.E.S. for short.

(2)

With this type of control system the customer

no longer has to manually switch the

refrigerator to the desired mode of operation.

All that is left for the customer to do is to turn

the refrigerator “ON” and to select the desired

temperature range by way of the thermostat

knob. The refrigerator will automatically select

between 120V AC,

12V

DC or LP gas to

operate the refrigerator.

(3)

The selection will be made electronically with

the highest priority going to the

12OV

cooling mode; second priority going to the

12V

DC heating element, providing the motor

home’s ignition key is turned “ON” and the

vehicle is in motion. Last priority is LP gas

operation.

(4)

Since the introduction of the first A.E.S.

refrigerators in 1983 there have been three

distinct model series or “generations” available.

We will discuss each of the three model gener-

ations separately to illustrate the parts location

and operational differences between each

model series.
