   I wish I could offer you hope. I had something similar happen to mine. I was not as successful as you in getting it to cool. I went to turn it on and . . . . nothing! :(
It will be interesting to read if you are successful in getting it running again. I ended up replacing mine with a Dometic electric only model. https://www.boatandrvaccessories.com/collections/boat-marine-refrigerator-freezers/products/refrigerator-crx1110e-fs . My mods has the installation and the other changes I had made to our former RP-179.

	http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10442&PID=144030&title=dometic-fridge-control-module-12-vdc-fusing#144030 I’m pretty sure I did the same thing as referenced in this thread, but before I go and pull the fridge to get to the control panel I wanted to run it by the experts: I’m pretty bummed. I spent the last few days during my off time trying to get the fridge to cool properly. I did multiple cleanings of the burner, orifice, flu, etc….and I had the freezer compartment getting down to 19 while outside temps were around 105. Winning….. I went to move the fan temp sensor as suggested and I think that’s where I goofed. I had turned it off to make the move, but when I went to turn it on, the controls were dead. Nothing. I checked the 12 V fuses, the GFCI, unplugged it, disconnected the battery and reconnected and still nothing. Do I need to try and get at the control board behind the fridge? Anywhere else I should look? Ughhhhhh
