    Legend!! Have been stuffing around cluelessly for 2 hours, and after a few mins of your video I am now saved!! Thankyou very much! For others reference, on the Dometic RMDX21 model, you hold the warning (exclamation mark) button in for 3 seconds to do the reset.

    Good advice about the 12 volt setting as a lot of people think it will run off the caravan battery and not when attached to the car

    On a routine ‘on the drive’ check of the caravan I found our fridge wouldn’t connect to gas. Went to TH-cam search and yours came up. Thanks for posting this and explaining in simple terms (helpful to a newbie) what to do. Fridge is now working again on gas should we need it. Happy days 👍🏼

    Fantastic demo mate... thanks. Mine is same as yours, and running on electricity. I tried what you said and reset it, and yes, it did start cooling again over night, but this morning it stopped again and even though on high, it refuses to freeze anything and the freezer fins are not even cold. When working proper they are really cold to touch. It could be coincidence, but it seemed to stop when I turned on my electric heater 1000w. As if it was not getting enough power, I will again reset and see what happens. Problem is it takes about 4+ hours to test if its working as there is no sound like normal fridges.

    • @strikemaster1

      Came back to report. I reset it once more s instructed here, and I lowered the nose of my caravan 2 inches to make it perfectly level and its now been going perfect for 18 hours... so I guess it is fixed. Not sure if it was the second reset or leveling that did id. Thanks for everything... its good to know this reset trick.

    just a point about the battery symbol. These fridges are fitted to motorhomes too, hence why they use a battery symbol. Its never disconnected from the battery in a MH.
    Perhaps misleading for caravan owners although still valid, as if the car is disconnected the alarm is indicating no power from the battery (which is correct).
    Also, in case any one else finds it useful, I just had the gas error (E50) on my new dometic fitted last year. First time I tried to use it this year (today) it just kept alarming. Had gas to hobs and heating system. Switching the fridge on and off a few times and clearing the error as you showed in this video didnt get rid of it either.
    I resolved it by holding the purge button in for 10 secs on the gas bottle (even though i had already proved there was gas supply to hobs and heating).
    So worth trying a purge even if you've proved there is gas to the hob.
    Thanks for your videos and happy camping!

    Keith, you’re a life saver! We had our van from new in 2019 and had never used the gas on the fridge. It only came to light when we pulled up at a services and had lunch in the van, the bleeping drove us crazy as the gas wouldn’t light. Did your simple reset and hey presto!
    A tip for long journeys if you’re taking some frozen foods with you. We wrap everything up in tin foil and also put 4 ‘ice packs’, the sort you’d put in a picnic cooler bag. It helps to maintain the temperature, especially on hot days.

I followed your instructions & hey presto it worked 1st time. The dealer told me the fridge didn’t have a gas function. He must have thought I was stupid or something….

  • @waynebrown5852
    @waynebrown5852 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Your video has just reminded me to check as we have not used the fridge on gas but just had it in for it's first service so sure it would have been checked, but will test on next trip, its got a fault on the outside of the door anyway on warranty gets a cold patch and condensation on the outside of the door. Hope you 2 are fine

    Great video . Information is better than the instruction booklet received with the caravan and so relevant regarding the battery as it could be misleading that the leisure battery could support the fridge, which obviously it couldn't due to the power required to run the fridge. 👍

    Keith & Michele …..off grid????
    What’s the world coming to ?
    Have you forsaken us for the dark side?
    😂😂😂
    Nevertheless…Very informative and timely Keith !
    We Arrived on site here in North Wales yesterday and being warm decided to put fridge on gas as it cools quicker than mains.
    Our fridge is Thetford and after a minute reverted to an error with code 9
    This signifies gas not staying alight - so quick on and off and try again and fridge stayed on gas .
    Basically air in system
    As ever a well put together vlog with Michele handling all the really difficult stuff with professional ease as you do the easy piece to camera

    Thanks SO much for posting this video. I was sure that I was going to have to take our new Bailey caravan fitted with the same fridge for warranty repair… nothing about this in the fridge documentation. Ours wouldn’t clear the fault warning after a gas bottle ran out and a new full one connected. Very relieved our long weekend away rescued!

    What a life saver -I had just had my caravan serviced, we went away the next day and every time the power dropped the 'blinking' noisy alarm went off because it wasn't working on gas. I called my caravan supplier (they promised it was working when it left them!!) and they got me messing about with the control panel to no avail. Then said I would have to fetch it in - 100 mile round trip. Anyway I looked at your Video and hey presto my fridge now works on gas.
    Why isn't this in the manual and why didn't my 5* service know about it ???
    Come on Swift!!

    When we go away, we put the fridge on battery when we collect the caravan from the storage yard. We put our food in it along with two 1 litre bottles of water that have been frozen overnight . This helped to drop the temperature of the fridge quickly and when you arrive to site after a long drive you have some ice cold water ready to drink as it will have thawed a bit

    Hi Keith and Michele
    Another good informative video never even given it a thought about running the fridge on gas as you say I always leave mine on auto . so tried on gas today all works fine so after running it on gas for 10 mins I then switched back to auto and ran that for about half hour on electric . Then got thinking let’s see if it auto changes to gas if electric power is disconnected the auto symbol on fridge changed to gas could hear the sparks to ignite the gas but then fridge went into alarm . With the gas symbol flashing and gas not igniting 🤔 took fridge off auto and manually pressed on to gas fridge ignited and gas started up .
    Will have to mention this when van goes into have its service week after next .
    Keep up the good work guys all the best and another great video that ain’t making me spend all of Hazel’s house keeping money 😂😂😜😜
    See you guys hopefully soon

    Thought I would just let you know that this Video as proved helpful, Easter weekend we arrived on site and electric was paid for on a card that you have to purchase separately! Whilst waiting for the owner to arrive with these cards the auto tried to connect the fridge on gas and you guessed it ERROR 🥴 like you we use our van on hook up most of the time. I found this video and tried the reset today and hey presto we have gas power on fridge!!

    @grahamhastie896 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Enjoying your videos down here in West Aussie.....but just a point you made Keith about 12v (car input) operation....I dont know if the Dometic "ice cream cookers" over there are different to ours, but on 12v the fridge runs unregulated via the panel controls. This is because as you travel you go up hills and down, twist and turn and these inclinations turn the fridge off and back on ( only like operating on level ground), so no requirement for panel regulation. However here in Australia, travelling across places like the Nullabor Plain, hundreds of kilometers of flat road, constant 12v fridge feed results in lettuce and cucumber popsicles, so we are aware of this and physically turn the fridge off for a while, depending on the ambient temps in the van, then on again. I have actually installed dash board switches and relays to enable the drivers to do this whenever they wish ( or remember.....remember what?) Because of this, the majority of newer vans and RVs are fitted with 12v compressor fridges (no gas at all) and operate according to the panel settings.....Just FYI....keep up the good work.....Cheers.

    Great video as always. We do quite a bit of off grid caravanning, probably around 5/6 times a year ( due to my hobby) so haven't had this problem probably because of this as you said Keith. Nice to know what to do if it ever happened.

    The plug in stands for 110/120 AC current. The battery stands for a 12 volt power supply that probably feeds through a converter. Also, a height number of campers are pulled by a pickup, not a car. I think the battery only stands Defoe 12 volt power.

    New MH owner here and getting to grips with out Dometic 3-way Fridge.
    Re: AUX-STARTER-GAS, I keep reading that the fridge will not run on 12v unless engine is running. Why is the AUX 12v needed at all ?

    • @keithandmichele
      @keithandmichele  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi @DOCWHOK9. You are correct, the 12v setting only work is when the vehicle’s engine is running. This feature is used to keep the fridge at the same temperature, so for example if you were to have the fridge cold when leaving site it would stay at that temperature when driving. Hope that makes sense. Keith & Michele

    • @keithandmichele
      @keithandmichele  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi, this fridge was excellent and the freezer section equally as good. You may wish to try your fridge on gas for a short while to see if that makes any difference. Also, may be worth purchasing a fridge/freezer thermometer to see if both are reaching the correct temperature. Hope this helps, Keith & Michele

  • @andywood168
    @andywood168 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Many thanks for the advice. Funnily enough last night when hooked up I was woken at 3 am!
    we have the same fridge as yours and the triangle and battery icon were lit and bleeping.
    [error code W06 - dc power not connected]. so completely miffed, we drove home, where I switched the fridge on with the engine running, still connected. All was ok. Then disconnected the car and tried gas. All Ok. Then tried electric 240v - all ok. Can you tell me what the problem was please?

    • @keithandmichele
      @keithandmichele  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Andy, Delighted you got this problem rectified. Sometimes a simple reset or, in your case, the fridge being turned off totally, can rectify glitches. Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.

    Hi, I ve problem with my dometic is working on gas only if the caravan is plug in, do you have any tips? Or something that I can check?

    • @keithandmichele
      @keithandmichele  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi leostar, Some caravan fridges will automatically switch to gas if the amperage supply drops below a certain current. This normally happens if the caravan heating system kicks in (which takes a lot of current) thus dropping the supply to the fridge. One way to test this theory is to turn off your heating system & any external sockets to see if this cures the problem. Hope this helps, Keith & Michele.

    • @keithandmichele
      @keithandmichele  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Neil. It could be something as simple as the switch board needs to be cleaned or even replaced. Either way you would need to access the board to investigate. This maybe something for an engineer. Hope this helps, Keith & Michele
