I havent seen a rebuilt rm182b show up on listings for a while.  You may
have to take it to an rv shop to have it checked out and tested to see why
it doesnΉt work.  Many times it is as simple as opening up the lower little
port and blowing compressed air into it.  Other times the seals on the air
pump up top have worn out.  Those are the most common two causes of failure
on the fridge.  If a shop does the work look at about 2 hours of labor
minimum on their bill.
