Dometic Frig???

We have a 2013 Keystone Cougar...about 16 months old...went to RV today after not being there about a week and refrigerator was "OFF". We NEVER turn it off! No matter what I did, it would not come back on....so we checked the fuse..pulled it out..good...then put it back in and sure enough, frig works now (I think)

Now, my question is..why did it turn itself off? We did learn that during our Tropical "Bill" and all the rain here in OK, that there was a transformer that blew and the whole RV park was without power for 3-4 hours...however, it should have switched over to propane, right? Nonetheless, everything was ruined in the frig and freezer.

Any ideas of what is going on here?
  • Power outage........should have swapped to propane BUT did it?

    And then when power restored it should have swapped back to electric BUT did it?

    IF DC voltage dropped below 10.5V it would stop working.

    Did it have any lights on panel.......or blank/no lights until you pulled fuse and reinstalled it?


    OH.....by the way WHICH Model?
    Helps to know which of the various models that Dometic (and Norcold) make
