When the light comes on, does it shut down totally?
Sounds like you are plugged into shore power too.
When I got my new TT with that fridge in it, it would run fine while plugged in on either gas or 120v. But, once it reached temp and wanted to 'cycle', it would trigger the light and shut down.
Running on 12v only (battery) and on gas, it would cycle just fine.
This was a brand new TT and under warranty, but it would have taken some 2 plus weeks and taking the rig back to them, picking it back up and I had a trip planned the next week.
I just ordered a new board off of Google of all places for $100.. It came within 2 days and an hour to replace and it's all fixed and running just fine over a year later..
I get the whole "warranty" thing... Sure, they should have paid for it, but 2 weeks, towing it back and forth, for a lousy $100 and an hours of my time... No brainer for me..
I also had an 'warranty' issue on my old 2003 Prowler back when it was brand new.. I took it in for a simple plumbing issue with the shower.. They fixed it after a week... The next trip out, it failed again.. I ended up fixing it while in camp from a local hardware store and it remained fixed for the rest of my time with it which was in 2019 when I traded it for the new Rockwood.. :)
Anyway, you can only do what you can do, so I get that.. You can only do what you can do.
Good luck! Mitch
