	12v battery status possibly, but my guess is the door is not shutting all the way.

	+1 on the door, there is a sensor which tells it if it is open. Another member recently posted about a bad control board causing the same problem.

	If you were plugged in to 30amp and the fridge was set accordingly it will beep when unplugged until switched to battery or switched off. Been there done that.

	We camped at Shenango this past weekend and the frig never beeped until we shut the a/c off to leave and the it wouldn't stop beeping. I shut it off and then started it back up and it still kept beeping. I also raised and lowered the temp and still beeped. Any more suggestions? Thanks

	Was your camper level? Sometimes if it isnt the frig can close properly.

	You did not mention if you were trying to use the fridge on electricity, propane or battery. Ours worked fine on propane, and battery but would beep when we tried it on electricity. For us it turned out that from the factory, our fridge was never plugged in to the outlet for it in the panel outside. Once we found the plug and plugged it in ours worked fine and no longer beeps. Also like others mentioned make sure the trailer is level and door closed.

	Pull the plug on the inside of the frig where your door lock is. Your interior blue light should go off and fix the problem, worked on mine this week-end. I think it has something to do with a bad circuit board.

	The frig ran fine on electric and we just shut the air conditioner off and the frig started to beep. Then one other time ran it on electric and switched to battery for on the way home and it started to beep again. Not sure but it could of beep all the way home lol. From reading some other frig problems these things are very temperamental. If the wind blows wrong they beep. We have a trip planned for first weekend in October hopefully its ok.

	I recently bought a 178, and had a similar issue on 3rd weekend trip. I was getting and audible beep for 15 sec that would happen every 2min. After reading in the manual that came with the camper, it said that the door was either open or that I needed to replace the batteries for the power supply (option). I do not have the fridge with the additional batteries. My latch on the fridge seemed to work but was still intermittently beeping. In the manual I found that the fridge has a docking mode, where you can move the door latch to the up position, and the fridge door will just stay shut bring held by the magnet strip. I tried using the docking mode and found that the door will not stay closed, leading me to believe that the magnets are defective and not aiding in keeping the door fully closed. I brought to the dealer since it was still under warranty and told them what I tried. They had my camper for a couple days and made adjustments to the door latch and switch. The fridge worked fine on last trip. While in "docking mode" the door will still not stay closed. IMHO the factory door magnets are defective and the adjustment just masks the root issue. I will continue to monitor and use the factory warranty accordingly.
