For those that have older units, this is the thermal cutoff. If you look closely, you'll see the reset button in between the two spade terminals. The markings indicate that this may be set at 240F, but I can't confirm. It's wired between the external 12V terminal and the power input of the module board, so if it trips the board cannot power up and the fridge will not function until reset.

GREAT!!! Dead on. That is exactly what we are talking about. Complete with a reset button and in the DC power circuit. Simple, effective and not complicated.
What model do you have and what year? My 2004 unit does not have this so this must be something new or only on real high end units.
This is not that big a deal to add and offers a high level of benefit. And we can even get the parts from Dometic.
I'm not trying to beat on a dead horse trying to get Dometic to pay for this, but I would like to help myself. This is not a big deal to add.
Thanks for posting. This forum continues to be invaluable to us camping folks.
