    Thank you sir. I wish I had known this before replacing the 160 dollar circuit board. Manual did not mention that button. Now I know and have a spare circuit board and I will remember that reset button and its location. Thanks again.

    Thanks a zillion! The Dometic frig in my 2021 Grand Design 17MKE stopped working in the 105 degree Texas heat. As I had lotsa food in it for a 4 week trip I was a bit concerned to say the least. The manual just said contact a Domestic service center but since this was at 6pm all my food would have gone bad by then.
    I reset the circuit and all is good now!
    Thanks again!

    Thank you for this.
    Although I didn't need it. It is good to know.
    When my Dometic runs out of propane for too long. It goes thru a wait cycle.
    There is a box in back called ARP. It counts 7 minutes. I assume that box is controlling when fridge comes back on...not sure.
    However fridge would not turn on after the count down.
    Took another 5-10 minutes...finally it turned on all on it's own.
    2nd time this happened to me.

    Thanks for your video, just went and reset it and it started working right off lol. Unfortunately it went out at 745 on our first night and didn't have much time to troubleshoot. Went to Lowes and spent 370 on small refrigerators. Also ordered the on and off switch with control module from Amazon lol. It came to the house while we were camping. Got home and replaced it right away. Didn't fix of course. Watched your video about 1030 tonight, walked outside and BAM !! IT WORKS LOL

    Isn't this a thermal overload? Usually placed in system to prevent damage from overheating. Try it once, you may have fixed a problem from the outside temp or something. If you're having to reset a lot there is an overheating problem. Do not try and bypass!

I did that and it exercised the gas part but also reset the element switch and thermostat still waiting for the tell tale clicking showing that the pump is working.

    We have a 2023 Rockwood Mini Lite with the Power Package and this button does not move when I press on it. Also, the button lights on front of our refrigerator come and there is an alarm sound. So we must be getting 12V but nothing else does anything. I've found a reset procedure online that our RV dealer is going to try (as it states not to try it unless you're familiar with 12V systems - we've not). Oh well. Would have been nice just to push the button and have everything all right. Camped last time with electric cooler and an iced cooler. Yuck. Thx for any other help possible.
