MH Dometic NDR 1292 Refrigerator Stopped Working?

I have a Dometic NDR 1292 refrigerator in my MH that has stopped working. The last few weeks it would work for 2-3 days then stop for 2-3 days then start working again, then stop again. Now the refrigerator does not work. I switched the refrigerator over the propane and does not work on propane.

I appreciate any advise/help with troubleshooting this issue.

Thanks.

    Yes. Both fuses and the other line fuse are good



    Best to start your OWN thread about your fridge problems vs hi-jacking others'

    And provide BRAND/MODEL of fridge in that new thread

    Does the burner light the propane? When fridge stops working is the propane lit?

    My refrig does not light up at all on the panel. All fuses and it has juice on the back of the fridge.

    If the element is bad would it prevent the control panel lighting up?

    I don't show juice on the back of the panel above the fridge door

    Any help is welcome. 2007 model fridge

    Have to agree with Old-Biscuit; check ground connection. Also look for corroded or loose connections on all other wiring. As stated bad cooling units don't start and stop.

    Defective cooling units do not suddenly start and stop working. Dougrainer is the person to answer something like this...

    Replaced my coils, burner etc at NationalRVRefrieration in Shipshawana, IN. this week.(NDR1292) 18 years+100k. Total cost was $1500. It was acting somewhat similar to yours.

    Need to check the 12V DC GROUND..........needs to be clean/tight contact \

    12V DC Terminal block in outside compartment.
    To the left of AC Power cord and 'reigniter module'

    12V DC POS & NEG from DC Dist Panel to terminal block
    From Terminal Block to fridge circuit board

    Loose/bad grounding..........intermittent working
