Dometic refrigerator works only on propane

[Noopie1]

Our 6 cu. Ft. DOMETIC refrigerator vintage 2011 or 2012 now only runs on propane. Our frame was recently straightened and axles replaced. When we got the trailer back, it would only run on propane. Any ideas? Thank you!

1st thing ...
*With fridge in 'AUTO' and RV plugged into shore power ....does fridge stay in 'auto' or swap to GAS?
NO.......fridge not seeing AC Power
*Is the 120V AC Outlet that fridge plugs into hot......pull lamp, electric drill --voltmeter. Does it have AC Voltage?
NO....check if the AC circuit Breaker for outlets is tripped
YES.....does the electric element get hot? (area on burner stack where element leads go into the shielding)
NO......
Need to remove cover on the lower control module and check for a blown fuse. It will be a 1/4" dia GLASS fuse (5A)
IF blown......most likely due to bad electric element




Actual Model would be helpful. (ie: 2652 etc)

Check for any ungrounded wires in the frame area?

Check if found fault is tripped somewhere in the RV.

Thanks for all of your replies! Another question: does anyone out there know if a 2012 Freedom Express 246 RKS has a GFCI and, if so, where is it located? Thanks again!

It probably does and it would be the outlet with a test and reset button between the two sockets. It would usually be in the bathroom and up to 3 other outlets could be chained to it.
