Dometric problems

I have an RM 2801 refrig in my
'89 Bounder motorhome. When I run it on propane it works fine. If I try to run on AC it immediately trips the circuit breaker. The schematic on the back of the frig is not legible. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

    The ONLY thing that will trip a breaker is a shorted Heat element OR the 2 wires from the control board to the Element. Regardless of which a 25 year old element needs replaced. The odds are you will NOT get it out of the sleeve. Just use the sleeve next to the existing element to install the new one. Doug

    It sounds like the electric heating element has shorted out. Time to drag out the VOM. Your answer is on page three of this document.
