Almost ALL Dometic 3 way Refers, the 12 volt option, there is NO THERMOSTAT control for the 12 volt heater. The Refer uses the 12 volts ONLY TO MAINTAIN the existing cold in the refer WHILE IN TRANSIT. The reason is, the 12 volt element pulls a lot of 12 volt amps and while in Transit, the towing vehicle or the Motorhome will supply needed 12 volts from the Engine. The LP and 120 ARE controlled by the tstat. There are some OLDER Dometic's that do control 12 volt with a tstat, but they have not made those in over 25 to 30 years. Doug
