We keep our R-Pod plugged into shore power all the time it's in storage. I had to go out to get something and was greeted with a flashing warning light and a flashing shore power light on the fridge panel.
I checked the GFCI and it was not tripped; I even plugged something into an outlet to make sure. The breakers were all on except the one for the microwave, which I had turned off intentionally. I even turned it on to be sure. When I switched over to battery, the fridge seemed to run fine: I didn't get any warning lights and I heard the converter fan kick on.
Am I likely looking at a control board replacement, or is there something else I can look at?
Thanks.

Sounds obvious but I found mine doing the same thing, turned out to be I didn't have the door shut good. Hopefully that's it and no more.

Bum, when plugged into shore power do you keep the fridge on all the time? Turn the fridge off for a day, open the door, let it cool down. Maybe issue with door switch and condensation. I keep my Pod plugged in 24/7, but not with fridge on.

I'll give that a try. I don't usually keep it on, but we didn't get it completely emptied after the last trip, so I left it on at a low (less cooling) setting.
However, wouldn't it do the same thing on battery if that was the case?
