we purchased a used 179 in October. The dealer had the refrigerator working during the walk through. We brought it home, plugged in to shore power and winterized it. I started making mods and changes. I have done a lot of 12volt additions and had both the batteries and the shore power off and on several times . Always been plugged in to shore power and batteries are 100% . I have not blown any fuses or circuit breakers. today, i tried to start the refrigerator for the first time. I know the propane is full and turned on. There is 122volts at the AC Plug and 12volts on the DC side of the refrigerator. The stove a nd heater work fine. When I tried to srt it, there is zero response-no lights, sounds or flashing error messages. There is no illumination on any of the buttons. It seems like the refrigerator is not hetting power. Is there a reset switch or sequence with the control buttons. Are there any internal fuses in the back panel of the refrigerator? Any ideas? Thanks for any help Vann ------------- Vann & Laura 2015 RPod 179 https://postimg.cc/0zwKrfB9">

Did you just press or press and hold the power button? You may need to press and hold it for a second or two until it responds.

| With my camper (2017 182g) I find the refrigerator is very sensitive to the camper being level. I'm sure one of the more experienced posters on here will probably have a better idea. |

If holding the power button down for a few seconds doesn't solve the problem look for 12v issues. The fridge control board is powered by the battery regardless of how you're trying to cool the fridge. TT ------------- 2010 176 FJ Cruiser |

Check your circuit breaker and especially the fuse for the frig. Good luck! ------------- Dave & Marlene J with Zoey the wonder dog. 2017 Rpod 180 2016 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4 Lexington, NC |

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I have done all of them and stillno referigerator. I have spoken with a mechanic at the dealer on several occasions. They have tried to help as I am about 2.5 hours away. I have checked all fuses and breakers, touched every wire in the back and under the front panel to ensure a tight connection, double checked both shore power and 12volt power, talked to Dometic , looked at about a dozen You tybe videos and finally made a service appointment. I suspect a bad circuit board or some other electronic malfunction. I will find out next week. I will report back.thanks again Vann ------------- Vann & Laura 2015 RPod 179 https://postimg.cc/0zwKrfB9">
