Complicated story, but trying to help son and his family who are on the road with 2015 Pod Forest River Edition and having an issue with the fridge beeping. It is due to the door latch issue. Dometic says they are replacing these latches but instructs him to go to dealer. He's on the road and wants to make arrangement ahead to be sure the part is there. Buuuut, the model and product tag on the fridge can't be found. Dometic says it can be anywhere, even on the top! Without it, no part number is possible. But dometic can't identify the part number without it, even though there's a TSB apparently. I am guessing it is a model RM 8501 (it's a three way), but not certain. If you have a 2015 Pod and have access to it, I would greatly appreciate the fridge model number, serial number, and any other numbers. Dometic referenced a "product number". I am grateful for your help. ------------- 2015 Pod Hood River Edition 2012 Tacoma Crew Cab 4 Liter |

My fridge beeped because excessive moisture found its way into the light switch at the latch. To alleviate the problem when I was on the road I just disconnected the wire at that switch. When I got home I moved the switch, dryed it out and use dielectric grease to keep out the moisture in the future. There is a YouTube video to illustrate the repair. ------------- 2022 RP-202 2016 RP-179 (Sold 9/2020) 2014 Silverado Crew Cab. 6-1/2' Bed Golden Retriever (DOB 6/16/2020) English Bulldog (RIP 6/15/2020) |

+1 to what Pod People said. The ID on ours was on the back wall behind the produce compartment. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

GlueGuy really helped. Found the fridge data tag behind the crisper. The only one to have the part is Forest River. They (as they are inclined to do) want a mere $239.00 for it (plus shipping). In Canda it is $75 and UK $58. Larceny! ------------- 2015 Pod Hood River Edition 2012 Tacoma Crew Cab 4 Liter |

While I've been very frank with my criticism of companies that have poor customer support, I make it a practice to be equally outspoken with praise where it seems deserved. Dometic in my experience, is first rate. ------------- 2015 Pod Hood River Edition 2012 Tacoma Crew Cab 4 Liter |
