QUOTEI will check mine shortly but as an interim "roadside fix" in case of an unexpected failure can the diode be bypassed and the reefer run without it in the circuit. I would expect that I could lift the two wires from the device, connect them together and operate the reefer until a proper repair could be made (these kind of failures usually happen, in my experience, on a Saturday evening 200 miles from the closest RV shop)
Yes. Fuse is in the red hot line going from the limit switch to the circuit board. It's covered with a black rubber material. Simply slide back the black rubber and jump a piece of wire around the fuse (it looks like a diode). Wire is bare at each end of the diode so it is a simple repair.
Dometic will have a fit if you tell them you are doing this.
Does anyone know an on-line source for these thermal fuses or diodes?
