When you wash the coach, Are you squirting water on the access panel for the fridge? It doesn't like water. Also look at ARP.

X2.. I just had to replace my sensor as it had failed. The repair guy asked me if I had recently washed my rig, and I had in fact done it the day the fridge had failed. He showed me where the sensor was sitting and you could see it through the side vent. Simply, when I washed the rig, I splashed water into the sensor, shorting it out. He told me that this was the most common thing he has seen with these "failed" sensors. He broke the case open and we could see the scorch marks on the circuit board... I've since modified mine with a thin plastic cover to prevent water from hitting it again.
I've always tried to be careful and not get water into that vent, but... Accidents happen.
