Does your fridge have a "CLC" button?

I would call the factory and send them these photos. Looks like someone put out a cigar on it.

A quick search on the web about "Dometic CLC" made me see why that question was asked. I'm wondering if Rich had has some personal experience with that? I'll be waiting to hear what he has to say about it. For now, I think I'd leave that switch turned Off.

Perry, this is a 2003. The burn mark is from a short in the door (I believe) Assuming is has something to do with the climate control feature.

The CLC heating element is in the area between the doors. It heats the metal there to eliminate heavy condensation during humid weather. I would investigate if that element/wiring has overheated. It's the only electrical item in that area, I believe.

I have had no issue with mine, but rarely use it. Just deductive diagnostic reasoning brought me there.

Yeah it is probably the heating element around the door then if it has one. Is it all electric or gas/electric? The all electric models that are used in houses all have a heating element around the door frame to prevent condensation and some have an energy saver switch to turn that off.
