Great video. I called the caravan shop who said it would take 2hrs to swap over and the back of the door had to come off. I was dubious, googled it, watched your Clip and I then did it myself before the kettle boiled. 😅
Mark, I find your vlogs hugely interesting but having owned caravans and motorhomes for the last 12 years the poor quality of the components is shocking. As a car mechanic I am well used to the shocking standards of component life but the leisure industry has reached new levels of robbing the customer with constant faults. On my three year old Bailey motorhome so far had to replace a water pressure switch developed a solar pane fault where it will not charge leisure battery and another probable pcb fault on the boiler that will not light on gas. Really not good enough.
Very helpful information. My fridge just wasn't getting cold on gas was lite and running but not cold worked fine on mains turned out some dork had fitted wrong size jet on a service it cost me a small fortune
Thank you for the video, useful. While the parts are expensive, at least they have back engineered to fit older fridges. Many a time ive heard the phrase well that is what you need but they are not available anymore, I bet they are cheaper than a new fridge!
Hi mark another fab vlog , i have a 2012 caravan with under counter thetford fridge , its flashing f1 , would you know what this problem is , works fine on gas , thanx
My N3112 fridge (2014 coachman from new) has just failed on mains, still ok on gas and 12v, Ten years old but only a years worth of use possibly, built in obselesence looks like I'm going to have to do a similar job, thanks Thetford.
I have an old n112 thetford fridge in my caravan, ive been told the pcb has been discontinued. Is there an equivilent newer pcb that will fit? or is it a new fridge? Great videos btw.
Has it got a fuse in the back of this buddy ? In that black box 12v /240 I’m having issues with mine spanner 10 flashing light Apparently no 12v feed getting to it On the fuse board for 12v fridge changed fuse and still the same
Thetford should have stuck with toilets and left fridges to Electrolux. We had little trouble with the old 212s, and an occasional service would keep the going for years. I hated working on Thetford fridges. They were always troublesome.
Mark, whats disapointing here is that a main OEM like Thetford has designed in Obsolecence to their fridge. Why do they have to reinvent the wheel and expect the customer to pick up the tab for their reliability issues?.
@@thecaravanplace just not getting cold it started when I was on gas the screen kept cutting on and off I thought I was out of gas which I was. Changed cylinder still problem continued next site I was on power plugged in put on electric still same thing was happening. Now fridge stopped working and on full freezer setting still not getting cold but not flickering showing nothing. Think it must be mother board.
Nobody repairs the N112 power boards, The parts they needed to build or repair them have been discontinued , Most of the repair shops will repair the Dometic pcbs but not the Thetford ones

Very good Mark, well done. I guess the main issue is to find out what the problem is to start with. Big expense if you are not sure. Well done.
Yes Google the error codes is a good place to start, but they don't always lead you down the correct path. 👍

The same power board should work from what this is saying

Hi Mark. My fridge in my Coachman vip 565 has stopped working on all 3 supplies. Think I would need the 2 units how much are they complete
@@colinmew7139 hi Colin, is it just not getting cold, or do you have error codes on all settings?

Really interesting watch mate 👍 hopefully mine doesn’t go wrong but if it does I’ll know what to do. 👍
My issue is I have lost all power the the fridge. Checked all fuses I can find but can't find the fault.
Great video helped a lot 😊
your a cleaver man well done
reverse polarity will give u the same fault. be carefull out there
Yes always worth checking, same with the heaters too.
Why not get the old board repaired it will be a lot cheaper. Lots of places advertise on eBay.
