I have a 2009 jayco jay feather sport. My fridge is dead and we are headed out today. I have replaced the fuse and still nothing. The panel "0" for the temp. I have tried turning the fridge off and back on. Resetting the temp. and still nothing.
Any suggestions?

x2, the fridge and my furnace does that as well.

I park in my sloped driveway and nothing turns on , as soon as I start driving everything comes to life.
My mechanic tells me im crazy. He might be right but that's what happens . ๐Ÿ™‚

Off level could cause that. Newer fridges can tolerate being more out of level - 6 degrees on our Norcold.

On a previous TT at under a year old, the fridge stopped working once while parked in it's usual spot at home. Were about to head off for a camping trip. After asking for suggestions on a forum, still wouldn't work. Got to the CG and it worked fine and it never happened again. Maybe you will find the same...

For this trip dry ice is going to be your friend.

Is the RV level? It will not cool if the RV is not parked reasonably level.

As per my other post last year

First thing to check ,did you trip the propane /carbon monoxide alarm, down at floor level ,just spraying air freshener will do it,that shuts of all propane,there is a reset button on the unit try that

on a 2009 I doubt there's a pilot light.


Probably right. Then the next question would be do you hear the ignitor going?

thanks, I will.
I called a local rv service center and they said it was a failure code and needed to be brought it.

Have a fun trip. Let us know what the problem was when you get it fixed.

I have propane not problem there. Panel lights come on but read "0" only even when I change the mode or temp.
At this point I think we will just go camping with ice and coolers and take it in when we get back.
thanks for trying to help me.

What fridge?

What fuse?

Are all panel lights functional/on?

Do you have 12V DC to fridge?
Is it time for your medication or mine?
