Refrigerator is dead

[jornvango]

We have a 2009 Casita trailer with original Dometic fridge. We're full-timers and typically boondock so the fridge uses propane and 12V. Today, out of nowhere, the fridge went dead. The "ON/OFF" button doesn't do a thing. I figure it may be time for a new fridge looking at the age, but, as these things usually break in the worst possible location, I'd like to see if I can get it going again as we're currently in the middle-of-nowhere Alaska for the summer and are not going back to the lower 48 until the end of September and there's no RV repair shop in hundreds of miles here.

Anyone have any troubleshooting steps I can try? I already checked the 15AMP fuse and it's good (that would have been too easy a fix!).

Thanks!

I would start with attempting to jump the "ON/OFF" button.

So does that mean you are not getting a flame on the burner? No spark ignitor or anything?

Could be the main control board... But, seeing where you are, you aren't gonna get one from Amazon anytime soon I'd think?

No idea on your trailer or model of Dometic fridge and what they came with, but does it have a 120v option?

You would need a generator to test that, so if you don't have one or 120v nearby to at least test it, no real idea...

Good luck! Mitch
