Thank you! Your video helped my solve my issue with no spark. As a note, on a lot of models the "re-igniter board" is separate and replaceable. Original part number: 2931132019 Now made by third parties as 2931132019MC or 2931132019-A. The board in the video though has this combined onto the main control board and is not replaceable.

Retired domestic automotive tech and service director since 1986. Sitting at a campground as I'm sending this ,stuck using three coolers with ice instated of my fridge...until i watched your video and found that the thermal disc had and open . I bypassed the fuse and most of my food is now saved to enjoy for the rest of our vacation. Thanks is not good enough, Your Awesome!!!

@@rvrepairwoman I have one situation that is not in the video. When trying to run on gas, I don't hear the "click" from the valve and also don't hear the "tic tic tic" from the igniter. Valve and igniter are new. 12v and 220v work perfectly. Is my electric cardboard gone?

This woman is great. My fridge didn't work and I followed her method and determined my circuit board was bad. My Power Probe read 3.7v at the orange wire but 13v going into the board. This indicates the board is bad. I was using a power probe to test the board which can apply power, so I pushed 12v to the orange wire and the fridge came to life. I then disconnected and reconnected 12v to the fridge and it works normally in all modes. Maybe this trick will help somebody get a few more days out of a bad board. Good luck

Really great video, but I just ripped my pcb cover in half. To remove the cover over the PC board - Once you have the screwdriver in the little slot, don't "wiggle it around," you need to move the screwdriver handle to the left. This forces the bottom of the cover to the right which lifts the front cover over a little tab, located behind and to the right of the cover. So don't twist or jiggle anything, just move the screwdriver handle to the left. BTW, I really appreciate the content of this video. Thanks for all you do!

When I did that, I had 120v on the heater pin and it worked. However, it was a one time fix and didn't work again. It gave me 100% confirmation the circuit board was faulty. (Thank you)

Great video, however, rather than testing for 110VAC from hot to ground, you should be testing from hot to NEUTRAL. I did as you said and tested from J8 to ground and read the desired 110VAC but the cartridge heater would still not heat up. When I tested from J8 to NEUTRAL, I did not read the desired voltage. It turned out that I had an OPEN Neutral. I traced this back to one of the electrical outlets downstream. Always test AC voltage between hot and NEUTRAL. That said, I would never have gotten that far without your most excellent video. Thanks so much :-)

@djohnson4523 2 ай бұрын

Thanks Emily for the great step by step process. I went through it and was still at a loss. My symptoms were a little different. The unit initially would not light. The ground from the igniter unit was not getting good connection, cleaned (your advice). Unit would light but would then shut off after a bit of time. Indicating a thermocouple. Checked voltage when unit was lit, only got .009 to ,011 volts (or 9 millivolts) from the thermocouple. Just for giggles I also let a long Bic lighter under the thermocouple, the voltage went to 25mv. Checked thermocouple mounting, it was loose, apparently allowed the Thermocouple to slide away from the flame. Adjusted and locked down. All is fine.

Very attention to detail oriented which means that it's the best advice!

My middle led and the right side led starts blinking along with the check led. Do you know what the problem is? Let me know please.

You’re the best! I have a question. I came back to a dead fridge after being away for 2 weeks. Thanks to your video I was able to troubleshoot my fridge. When I put the probe on the black wire for the eyebrow board I was only reading 7.2 volts. When I went inside to start checking the eyebrow board I found the fridge to be working again. All was well until this morning when I woke up it’s dead again. Wiggled everything that I touched a few days ago thinking something was loose and still nothing. If I’m not getting 12v on that black wire would you lean towards the eyebrow board?

@thomaswarren6882 13 күн бұрын

I like this video overall. Yes, there is a butttt!. The battery is having charging issues if you are getting an 11v reading. A full charge is II believe, 12.6-7v . 14v is indicating that the battery is charging. Please do not take this negatively. I am only saying that you need to have the correct information when giving out advice. Best regards.

I dont have the 6 pin your speaking of to test the board and no orange wire. My issue seems to be no clicking or spark after its been stored. All other devices that use gas work...but not until I drive around for awhile does it finally click and fire. So weird. Wish I was in Vegas Id definetly look you up for service.

@rvrepairwoman thank you for your video it was very clear and easy to follow. I have a question please, we tested the ac in between the two wires and we have 120v. But when we test between one of the 120v inlet legs and ground we only get a few volts and the same with the other leg. Our van was imported into Australia from Canada and converted to 240v so perhaps there is a transformer supplying the fridge with 120v and it may not be grounded so we can't get a reference from ground to +. Would this be possible in your professional opinion, thanks.

I was watching this to see what the "DC element" was. I'm replacing the board with a Dinosar P-711 and it is so confusing because the schematics in the cubby hole is different that the board that has nothing labeled with the tan resin all over the board which is different than the P-711 so as I find things out I lable everything and drew up my own schematics of the non labeled board so when I figure it out I can replace it correctly the first time. Oh and I had to make my own ground wire so had to get all the fun equipment for that and "flag" connector stuff. A month later I'm here. Almost ready but not sure what the DC element is or how to find the positive end with the board bad.

@rvrepairwoman 5 ай бұрын

I’ll make a video on this soon. (I think I have it on the schedule for this month) but real quick. If a fridge is working electrically (passing all the tests) and is LEVEL but not cooling it can be 1 of 3 tings. 1. Insulation. Make sure there is proper insulation around all the sides of the fridge AND the top. The insulation is just like the fluffy fiberglass stuff in the walls of your house and it can work its way down when driving a lot. Some manufacturers also forget to put a piece of insulation on the top of the fridge and this really cuts down on the fridges cooling power. 2. Ventilation. If you open up the upper access panel for the fridge you’ll see some fins on the back of the fridge. Air HAS to go through these fins in order to cool the fridge. Make sure nothing is blocking the air from being able to come in the bottom access panel, up the back of the fridge, and out the top panel. Sometime we need to create baffles to direct the air across the fins. 3. If your insulation and ventilation are fine you may have a bad cooling unit. You can test for this with the hand test. Look for the flue on the back of the fridge and see if it’s getting hot. Then check if the black coils in the back of the fridge are hot as well. They should be within 10 degrees of each other. If the coils are WILDLY hotter than the flue than you most likely have a blockage in your cooling unit. If the coils are drastically colder than the flue then you most likely have a leak in your cooling unit. Both mean bad cooling unit and it needs to be replaced. Hope that was helpful/ understandable without visuals. Video is in the work! You go this!

Great video! I went through the process, and my meter read that my 5A glass fuse on the circuit board didn’t have power on either side of the fuse, but the 3A fuse to the left of it had 12 volts on each side. However, when i took the 5A fuse out to test it, it had continuity and looks totally fine. Any ideas? My fridge died super recently, right after my batteries died (and i think the batteries went below the discharge limit) It’s a DMR702, and the error code it’s blinking says that DC voltage is out of range, but i’ve replaced the batteries, confirmed that they are working, and reset everything, but still no luck.

I have a question? My refrigerator works on electricity, however it won’t get cold in gas? I’m getting a nice blue flame at the burner, (however it is pretty quiet, not sure how loud it should be?) But the refrigerator isn’t getting cold? Any tips are greatly appreciated?
