Dometic Fridgge NOT Working
Hello All In a sense of panic since we’re heading out to camp again tomorrow. I have searched the forums and web thoroughly. I have a 2018 Winnebago 245BHS and this Dometic fridge is driving me...

I have the same fridge in my 2019 Rockwood. Right out of the gate, the fridge worked fine. But when it was plugged into shore power, it would only run for a single cycle and then not continue. This was on either gas or auto while plugged in.
If it was unplugged, it would work fine on gas and cycle normally..
Well, that was not going to work, as I am pretty much always hooked to shore power at the minimum where I go camping..
I called the dealer I got it from. They wanted me to bring the rig back to them and would 'diagnose' it.. I said I already did that and it needs a new board. Dealer: We have to diagnose first to claim it on warranty..
I asked how long that would take. It'll take a week to diagnose and then if it is the board, it'll take another week to get it and then a couple of days to install it..
I said thank you, but I can get the board in 2 days from Amazon and install it in about an hour myself..
Which is exactly what I did and it cost around $110 if I recall... Big deal. I was not going to let them have my trailer for 3 weeks for a $100 part I can install myself!
I known right now, the part is probably not available like it was for me pre covid...
but, that's that fixed it for me.
Good luck! Mitch
