Anonther Atwood Fridge Failure

HERE is most current 'guide' for your Atwood Fridge


When a 'fuse' on control module is found blown it usually points to other issues downstream

AC Fuse.....electric element
DC Fuse.....controls or circuit board

Lack of sufficient cooling
Ventilation....obstructions, lack of draft
Bad electric element or wiring connections
Dirty burner, dirty flue/flue baffle, low propane pressure
Faulty thermistor

Read thru the guide then do some troubleshooting.

I know you are talking about a 2015 refrigerator, but if you have a flame it should be cooling. It isn't any electrical problem. You may have developed a leak in the refrigeration system. Yes even on a new unit. That's what the warranty is for. One tell-tale sign of loosing the coolant is a gurgling sound unless all the coolant is gone. But these units don't require any electrical components other than the electric heater element to produce cooling. And you have stated both the electric and gas are working and not getting it cooled.

Look at your Atwood warranty to see how long it covers and go to an RV dealer. I had a bad refrigeration unit on mine that I had to diagnose for the dealer before getting it replaced.

I agree, it sounds like it no longer has helium in it if everything else seems ok. Going to a dealer is your best bet.

Mine is a 2014 and it has worked flawlessly; it's on 6-8 months a year, mostly on electric.

The warranty on Atwood refrigerators is two years. Contact them at 800-546-8759. They've done warranty work for me before, and they are very helpful.

I was able to notify Atwood and they did extend the warranty until I could get the unit into the dealer. Unfortunately I couldn't get it into the dealer in a timely manner so I ended up ordering a new heating element and a thermistor. The heating element did the trick! I can't explain why it would only work on LP sometimes, but since replacing the element it hasn't given me any problems since.

That's why we always use 120 volt power to troubleshoot- the flame on these is so small, that it is impossible to determine if the unit is getting enough heat- on 120 volt power, we can calculate the exact amount.
