| Any idea why my Dometic fridge beeps and will not cool while plugged in to AC? It works fine running off the battery and LP. Thanks! |

You can pull off the lower vent cover and see if its plugged into the receptacle mounted to the wall. If it is you can unplug it and test the outlet with a voltage tester ------------- JandL 2013 Honda Ridgeline 2012 177 2 Paynes in a Pod |

Also, check the breaker in the power panel.

Thanks! I pulled the panel off and found no power to the plug. Checked the breakers and fuses, all OK. As I sat wondering what else it could be, I checked GFI....... And that was it! Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction

Glad you found it! Those GFI things can be a pain, even though they are there to protect us.

+1, sure it's not cooling, I think the alarm could be it thinks the door is not closed. There has been issues with the doorswitches in Dometics. I seem to recall a post on that from a time back. Google your issue. Condensation in the switch. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |
