I have a Dometic RM2551 made in 2010. Its a 2-way.
I've spent the last two days researching this and reading every post, but I'm not having any luck. Much as I hate to start another thread, here goes.
When I turn the fridge on it immediately calls for gas, and the check light will eventually turn on. I can hear the pilot light click. It works fine on gas, but I'd rather use electric or have electric as an option at least.
I've got AC at the outlet, and I've tested and get AC across the fuse. I wasn't getting any power at the electric heating element pins on the control board, it just seems to never detect that it has AC even though it does. Ohms across the heating element are within spec as well.
After going through all the troubleshooting I finally decided it HAD to be the control board. I just picked up a new one and installed it today, and SAME PROBLEM.
The only thing I can think of is something with the upper mustache board, but I don't know how to tell - and its pretty basic and I can't see what would be wrong there. Its clearly in 'auto' mode and not the 'gas' mode, and the 'auto' light goes on and off when I toggle the button so I think that means the control board received the signal and has turned on/off the auto light.
Wiring all checks out, no shorts, etc. Its very clean, its a 2012 camper new to me but always stored and kept clean, but I don't know the full history and the previous owner I believe didn't use shore power often.
Sure would appreciate any expert help. If its got 110vac AND good 12v (micro works, power meter shows great volts and amps for both 12 and 110, etc) I'm just at a loss.
