RV Fridge may have died!!!!
 
I towed my RV about 100 miles today. It was working before I left home but when I parked and plugged it in the fridge wouldn't come on. No lights on the front, no lights inside and can't hear it running. I opened the outside panel and check the outlet that it's plugged into. It's got power there. There was an inline fuse in that cabinet and it was good as well.
anyone ever have this problem? It has an on/off switch above the door and is switched on but there are no lights on the panel for auto, propane etc......http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/ima...s/confused.gif
It's a 2000 Montana 36'er.

May be circuit board failure. Does it light up the propane when unplugged from power pole?

After thinking about it I think it very well is either a circuit board or maybe an on/off switch issue considering that there are lights on it at all.

Is it a Dometic brand?

I had the recall done on my Dometic when the recall came out and never had any problems until a few months ago while on vacation. It was plugged in at home and working fine,,,, unplugged shorepower and it lit on gas just like it should,,,,, drove 180 miles up to the mountains and wife noticed it was off when we set up camp. It would not fire up on gas or electric (no lights lit at all),,,,,, checked all the fuses and finally called a local repair guy who told me to go out and look on the chiminey behind the cover. Two red wires connected to a thermal safety switch about 12 inches from the bottom of the chiminey and in between the wire connection spades is a little tiny reset button (which I mistook for a rivet head),,,, pushed the little button in and "PRESTO",,,,, back in buisness again. The fella on the phone said it is not unusual and I thanked him for saving my week vacation from being marred by not having a fridge. Not to mention he could have drove out to the campground and charged me a bunch of money for the call,,,,,,, and in this day and time when it seems that everyone is out to make a buck,,,,,, all he said was enjoy my vacation and I did! http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ons/icon10.gif

It is a domitec but I forgot to get the model and serial number to check the recall issue but It turned out to be a 3 amp fuse. From the outside panel there is a black plastic cover on the lower left Behind this cover is the circuit board. The circuit board has 2 glass fuses. There is a 3 amp fuse that controls the DD side. That little bugger had popped on me. Replaced it and she's chillin!!![guitar]
