Also check your GCFI, that will stop fridge in shore power.

MJ, all accessible at rear of fridge with vent covers removed, 120 is a plug in to check and 12Vs are on a bus bar.

Ok, I went out and put it on battery and it stayed on, no fault. I'm plugged into a 15 amp outside plug. So it starts on battery, and propane, so the electric seems to be the only issue. I'm going out camping on thursday so i'll probably just run on battery since i'll be plugged in, and it won't matter. I can use propane if I have any issue. Davmar? where is the control board located? i'll try taking a look at it. Then i'll have to get some instruction on how to check out the voltages, maybe youtube. I'm not great with electricity, but i can definitely monkey see monkey do it.

I could be wrong but I think 12V and control board is a constant in all modes.

Battery or shore power or neither?

My suggestion is check the voltages in the back of the refrigerator. If it has the proper DC voltages then my only other suggestion is to pull the control board and make sure its dosn't have a loose connection. If everything looks good I hope someone else here can give you some better suggestions because control boards are way to expensive!

My dometic fridge is not working on electric. It starts on propane, so it works. When i turn it on, on electric, the red triangle with an exclamation point in it flashes. It was on and running since last weekend and I just found it in a non working state. I did the obvious circuit breaker on off thing, then checked the fuses. All seems ok there. What Is my next course of action ? Any ideas?
