Hmmm. Back to the drawing board then. Everything I've been reading about why a Dometic stops working is because of the circuit board. Any suggestions on where to start?
Thanks,

I don't know what you have been reading, but failure of a Dometic circuit board is extremely rare. The last 16 years, the Dometic circuit boards rarely fail. A LOT of inexperienced people replace the circuit board when other parts are at fault. You have a "manual" type refer. The only difference is, your newer model has a 12 volt power source to operate some of the controls. The 120 and the LP are manual and the 12 volt supply just operates the inside flame indicator meter. The 12 volt HEAT element is ONLY to be on when in transit, not when stationary and the Engine of your motorhome or Tow Truck is not ON. The FIRST thing you do, is hot wire the 120 element for 24 hours. If after 24 hours the refer is NOT below 40 degrees and the ventilation is clear at the backside, then the cooling unit is bad. Doug
