In order to keep your Dometic 8 series fridge reliable, safe, and efficient the installation of the Fridge Defend is required. This series of RV fridge requires the Fridge Defend + Fan Control to remain cool in hot weather.
I’ve been on the road for a week since I installed the Fridge Defend on my Dometic RML8555, the performance of the fridge is significantly improved. We have driven across the hot and humid south from San Antonio to Atlanta and we are holding 3 degrees in the freezer and 33 degrees in the fridge. I am a big fan of the inside and outside fans .. they are making a difference and do not kill my battery like the other noisy fan I had.
Thanks for the improved efficiency and safety! M Schwarz

ARP Fan Install
Install Boiler Sensor
This photo is of an RMD 8501 burner and boiler assembly. The boiler housing needs to be opened to install the ARP Control boiler sensor. The boiler housing can be squeezed to unlatch the joint that holds the sheet metal together.
ARP Boiler Sensor Install
The yellow arrow in this image shows the location where a tab holds a disk at the bottom of the boiler housing. This tab needs to be bent down to release the disk that is holding the bottom of the boiler housing closed. After all 3 tabs are bent down, remove the inner disk, and then the boiler housing can be squeezed to open, as seen in the below photo.
This photo shows the burner assembly and the boiler housing opened for the installation of the ARP temperature probe. Please note that the burner assembly is at the bottom of the flue tube. The burner attaches to the flue tube with one Phillips screw. To the left of the flue tube is the boiler tube, the boiler tube is easy to identify because the electric heaters are welded to the boiler tube. It is on the boiler tube that the ARP sensor is mounted.
This is a photo of an RLM 8555 cooling unit without the burner assembly or the boiler housing and insulation blocking the view of the respective tubes within the boiler housing.
The arrow points to the approximate location where the ARP sensor should be installed. Be sure to insulate the sensor and wire exiting the boiler housing very well, the insulation around the wires will protect the wires from being cut by the sheet metal.
This photo shows the Fridge Defend safety sensor clipped onto the boiler tube. Please note the fiberglass insulation, GREEN ARROW, packed between the flue tube and the sensor.
Also note that the sensor can be mounted closer to the heaters (RED ARROW). If sensor is close to the heaters, just insulate the sensor very well.
Do wrap fiberglass insulation around the Fridge Defend sensor wires (PURPLE ARROW). If these wires are not protected, the sheet metal can cut the wires.
