  1. I was so tired of getting nickel'd and dime'd by my RV Fridge that I ripped the whole thing out and went with a Magic Chef 4.5CuFt residential version. I've lugged this thing everywhere and so far from what I've seen, all of the hooey that they give you about residential appliance not being built for the rigors of the open road is hogwash. It runs fine. Yea, I lost the ability to run the unit on propane but I still have a gen if needed and if I"m boondocking, well, propane runs out too so it's mostly collers and iceboxes. I usually like to repair most things but at a certain point it was clear that I was becoming pennywise and pound foolish so I am happy with my decision. It's almost a perfect fit, and didn't take much coaxing at all to slide in. Word of warning, you WILL want to get some angle brackets to secure the unit to the framing/cabinetry as these units don't come stock with attaching hardware. I hope this helps somebody! https://www.homedepot.com/p/Magic-Chef-4-5-cu-ft-Double-Door-Mini-Fridge-in-Black-HMDR450BE/305026502?cm_mmc=|THD|mid=sOiOIduhD|dc_mtid_890389n25185_pcrid_247809693042_pkw__pmt__product_305026364_slid_&gclid=Cj0KCQiAn4PkBRCDARIsAGHmH3eox4rdJBm_8KtXdSz5XnEJN9F1bXtExG6KDor4gA2Kod13moaY620aAsx3EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
  2. My upper eyebrow board went bad - after troubleshooting everything else, I replaced it and it works fine. Hope this helps anybody.
  3. Will do! the board is on order from Amazon.
  4. Thank you all so VERY much for all of the help on this. I narrowed it down to the eyebrow board, I have one on order from Amazon and I'll update you on the results. -Tim
  5. My Dometic RM2852 fridge used to work and now it's not. The RV hasn't moved or anything, it just seems to have failed out of nowhere. It has been on shore power for 3 months now and still is. I have zero lights on the upper panel, or in the interior of the fridge. I checked the power outlet in the outside access panel and I'm getting good power there. I then opened up the lower board cover per the instructions in this thread and I've linked a picture here to indicate what steps I've taken: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PgkLVLiwdjuBQAgssmAFedVm9MhQKfjj/view?usp=sharing Using my multimeter, I measured first the resistance of both the 3a and 5a fuses and then measured the resistance across both fuse terminals (blue and red arrows). I then checked for voltage by grounding against the yellow arrow with one lead and testing the voltage on the other leads. I'm getting AC voltage on the 5A terminals (blue), but absolutely nothing on the 3A terminals (red). So I've verified the outlet is getting full AC power, the 5A terminals are powered, the fuses are all intact with zero resistance, but I'm not getting any DC voltage to the 3a terminals (red arrows). Can anybody offer any further thoughts or troubleshooting steps? Thank you.
