Travel trailer refrigerator will not get cold

I have a Dometic LP-Gas and Electric travel trailer refrigerator. I had my trailer hook up to my generator and had a power surge. I blew all my A/C lights. I replaced the lights and check all systems, all is well except the fridge. I have 120 A/C at J4 and J5 on the main board. I have a light when the door is open. I have lights on the panel above the freezer. The check light stays on all the time. I have some electronic repair background from my time in the Army. What I do not have is current flow and output for A/C on the man board and DC voltage flow. I believe since the 3 and 5 AMP fuse did not blow one the main board, my problem is the power board on the front panel. Can you offer any help. We are due to travel to Flordia in 8 days and I would like to have the fridge working.

    Thank you, I left the system running and found out my LP side is good. During my checks I check the resistance on the heating element and it is good. I let the unit run over night a found my LP side is working fine. The check light stays on, I believe because when on Auto it is finding a problem with the AC side and is cooling only on LP. I went ahead and ordered the lower circuit board and am waiting for it to arrive. We are leaving for vacation next weekend so I am willing to take a chance hoping I am right. If this doesn't work I will use my cooler that plugs in to AC. Maybe I will find a place on the way to where we are going. Thanks again.

On the burner tube there are the two main components after & before the board first check the thermostat on the burner tube for 12vdc if that is good then your 12v side is good now as for the ac side what happens is the board use 12v to turn on everything so for 120vac check the heating element on the burner tube it is a l shape peace of metal with 2-4 wires depending on the modle check the resistance chart for your refer 7 preforme a test on the element i think it is 90 ohms if it reads open or higher replace the element you can get the part from dometic pull the element out to do the test also on the side of the element there are #s use that to get the correct part from dometic

Dometic RM2214R refrigerator in a 1994 Layton travel trailer can't get to run on a/c power checked outside blowing the 12volt fuse?

If ur fuse keeps blowing check ur power inverter. Sounds like its throwing more than 12 at it. Does it work in lp mode?

What do I check to fix my Dometic Americana refrigerator. It won't start using electric or gas.

Fist off before you get crazy replacing things make sure the camper is level when testing this. Gas will not run to it if you are not level. Also make sure the gas is turned on and make sure you have selected automatic or gas only on your fridge. Also give it about an hour before you test the temp. These take a bit longer to start feeling cool. If all of that does not work you will need to check the refrigerant, igniter(for the gas side) and the compressor. Also make sure the fuses are good to go at the main panel and that the breakers are in the "on" position

I need help starting my 2001 coachmen catalina travel trailer combination gas/electric, refrigerator freezer in my camper. I have tried using all buttons on the top of it but nothing happens. PLEASE...

You need to make sure that the 12 volt "house" battery is charged. (This provides 12 v power to the control board in the refrigerator.)

Next, press and release the on/off button. You should see some indication of power on.

Then, Press the mode button several times until the "LP" mode is indicated.

You will probably need to purge the gas line to get all the air out.

Turn on the LP gas cylinder, light the cook top to make sure gass is flowing.

Hope this works for you.

Electric and battery working fine but gas will not come on. It keeps clicking and then the red light comes on

Hello,

Assuming this is on a travel trailer / RV, correct?

The red "check" light indicates that the fridge was not able to detect the presence of a flame from the burner area. This could be due to low LP gas pressure (causes different flame size), no LP gas (tanks are exhausted / turned off), damaged wiring going to the igniter / sense electrodes, defective gas valve, or damaged igniter / control board.
