Agree with "Google" the board. There are several sources for Dometic CBs on the web. Also some offer a repair service.]]> Sun, 22 Dec 2019 09:08:48 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13319&PID=128607#128607 Dometic 8501 issue : Check amazon for the dinosaur... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13319&PID=128605#128605 Author: podrunner

Check amazon for the dinosaur brand replacement boards. I have not had to change mine, but I have seen this item discussed as a replacement.  Good luck]]> Sat, 21 Dec 2019 10:49:59 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13319&PID=128605#128605 Dometic 8501 issue : Originally posted by RkmnolesAnyone... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13319&PID=128600#128600 Author: Olddawgsrule

Pull the board and find the number stamped on it. Sometimes you get lucky and the actual manufacture is written there as well. Google that number and you should be able to find it (probably China) and order one.

I plugged the refrigerator into a separate outlet not on the trailer by way of extension cord and it does the same thing. You can’t turn it off or change any settings with the panel.]]> Fri, 20 Dec 2019 09:06:37 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13319&PID=128598#128598 Dometic 8501 issue : Try the simple thing first.

Try the simple thing first. Plug something else into the outlet behind the refrigerator (or use a multimeter) to verify that the outlet is getting power. Is the GFI outlet properly reset? Don't spend a ton of money until you rule out power problems.]]> Tue, 17 Dec 2019 21:00:35 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13319&PID=128552#128552 Dometic 8501 issue : Good luck on finding that circuit... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13319&PID=128549#128549 Author: offgrid

When you say ground fault are you referring to the one behind the refrigerator accessible from the outdoor access panel?  If that is not the one you might want to check the 110 electrical connection behind the refrigerator (I think mine has a ground fault connector).  Also might to check the breakers in the WFCO breaker box.]]> Tue, 17 Dec 2019 09:46:09 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13319&PID=128545#128545 Dometic 8501 issue : I disconnected it from power last... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13319&PID=128544#128544 Author: Rkmnoles

Chances are, you are correct, yet with all thing electronic I do a re-start first. You just never know. Remove power (fuse or battery) and let it sit for a few minutes with no power (let all the capacitors drain down) and power up.

Refrigerator in 2014 Rpod 178 is only running on 12 volt. The unit was working fine and a rainstorm caused a ground fault to kick and since then it will only run on 12 volt power. You can’t turn it off or change any settings on the board. I am thinking the eyebrow control board is fried. Any thoughts?]]> Mon, 16 Dec 2019 16:12:08 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13319&PID=128536#128536
