   Agreed! Absorption refrigerators have a very small tolerance for being out of level. Operating off level for too long can damage it. However, I don't know if that is the issue.

Does it work on propane (also requires leveling)? Do you see lights on the eyebrow board? When you open the door, does the light turn on? I had one in our prior R-Pod 179 where the electronics went out. I ended up replacing it with an AC/DC only compressor refrigerator which was not as finicky when it comes to leveling. That was at the cost of being able to boondock for longer than a day or two. However, it did keep things colder and frozen things frozen much more reliably than the absorption refrigerator did.

	This might be late as a response. I had something similar. My problem stemmed by the camper wasn't level. It was 5deg from being level. Leveled it out and started working.

	Hello, I have a 2010 171 RPod. Got it out for 1st time. Plugged it in to 110 for 2 days. Everything works except the fridge. If I unplug power cord (110) the microwave and the fridge do not work. I bought a new battery but still same problem when plugged in or running off the battery. Ant thoughts? Thanks
