A Dometic Refrigerator has a RESET button! Who knew?!

[@tarnmartin9955]

You are so amazing my man!!! Thank you so much. I have been all over my trailer for so long. No one found this but you and I looked everywhere! Can’t thank you enough! 🙏

[@meddiegoyette8402]

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.

[@kevindodson6694]

You sound like me. Bought a brand new $122 RV toilet and found out it would have only cost $24 to replace the valve. Haaaa!!!!!

[@drandys102]

Thanks so much for this. Our fridge stopped working when we got back from our last camping trip. Sure enough, I found the reset button and we're back in business!

[@111xbody]

Wow...You saved me, reset the switch and on came the light. First camping trip on the year . Great save thank you...

[@LarryLyonRelyon]

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!

[@cindywood8193]

Omg thank you so much much for guiding me!! Fixed it!!! Yay!! Amber Light is back on..never would of known about the reset button..imagine how much money people have been spending to get that fixed!!! Thanks again Cindy

[@shawnramey9004]

I just pull our camper out yesterday & same thing, nothing, I checked all the fuses, all were good, saw your video, found the reset button & that fixed it.
Thank you!!!

You just saved me a ton of money with the reset, THANK YOU!!!

[@tommylong5886]

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

[@livingonwheels519]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what was wrong with my RV fridge.

[@gcnewd]

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.

[@scottduffer8265]

Thank you so much for this tip. I had heard about a reset button but it must be like a secret that has to be kept in a vault. No one would say or show where it was. I pushed mine and the fridge started right up.

[@hart1118]

You are a life saver. Thank you

[@jimbennett1519]

Don’t have a camper but here I am lol. I have always wanted one but the lovely Mrs. is much happier in a hotel/motel room and says she does enough cleaning and making the bed at home hehehe. You know the old saying…When momma’s happy,everybody’s happy 😜

[@JunkyardTailgate]

With these new campers, full hookup camp sites, AC etc it’s almost like glamping!

[@garbinator09]

We’ve been hotelling it too. But I’ve grown tired of renters stomping on my head at 2AM. Dogs barking in rooms, Drunks attempting to slide room card keys into my door, so on. Our recent trip had us facing $748 room charges for one night plus our 10 pound dog for $78 extra. Ludicrous. Inflations only going to get worse.

[@stonyfieldmotorsports]

Mine has been running for over 20 years with no issues. I've always been able to just turn it off and back on after a few seconds then the check light will turn off and start working again.

Got an older Winnie motorhome & was first told fridge worked then told it doesn't work 🙄 I got no experience w/ propane & fairly stressed out I just got an cooler for now 😝 but I'm determined to get fridge running! When!?! Good question (wink) just researching videos so I can be prepared! I appreciate this video very much helpful.

Thanks for the awesome info. I did as you said. Pressed the button and whala....the fridge is working.

Thanks!!! That got it running, I still have a slight ammonia smell in the back compartment, but it it working!! It ran all night with the door open

[@michaelcrose9281]

You have a leak that is a terminal issue with your fridge- get ready to replace it if you have not already😞

[@stephaniejohnson4286]

This was amazingly helpful!

[@printzapper]

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!

[@azul4evermx66]

My don’t cooling do you think that’s the problem? Because I move the bottom and I don’t hear the click

[@printzapper]

@@azul4evermx66 Possibility that the thermal sw. itself is the problem. Cheap to replace, but again you still need the protection, so don't bypass.

[@TheTruthPlease100]

I did notice that the element was heating the metal with the metal stretching sounds.

[@TheTruthPlease100]

Apparently mine is too old for that. Dang. You can also reset boards by grounding the positive and negative pins on the fridge male plug to the ground on male plug. 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.

[@julieleach4657]

Thanks so flipping much! You rock!

[@yonse69]

The rest button is a fail sensor. There might be still a problem with your fridge. Possibly a leak. Just be cautious.

[@billturner1960]

Reset button worked for me. Thanks

[@gloriataylor260]

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.

[@whiskeyleaks4421]

Warning those leads on that reaet are 110v be careful and use something plastic not metal as to not short between them or kaboom burnt up fridge

Would changing a blown fuse, perhaps make the Pilot lighting switch work ? Mine doesn't spark. and I can't see if I can light it by hand.

[@tammyward3423]

The manuel basically tells you nothing useful, not how to adjust the thermostat, nothing about this reset button.
Thanks!
I was looking on how to defrost it, found nothing so I just turned it off. The drain tube is on draining though

[@bilhow911]

I found the "reset button" but I'm unable to "depress" the button. Is this a button that you can actually push in or some sort of electrical reset? It doesn't appear to be a reset, looks like the ignitor for the propane.
