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.
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! 🙏
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!
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!
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!!!
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
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.
That's great to know. Mine is a 2011 model. I'm doing maintenance on it today. Maybe get another two years out of it . I've heard they last 12 to 14 years. Like an old faithful dog.
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.
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
My travel trailer is 53 years old with the original dometic ac/propane fridge/freezer in it. On the lowest setting it still ices right up in 90 degree weather just like it was new!
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 😜
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.
@@garbinator09 yes it is but from what I’ve been reading the campers are getting out of my reach too lol. I am kind of enjoying the hermit life anyway,because I feel as though I’m living in a world I no longer understand
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.
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.
Thank you so much!! Right before my husband ripped ours out of the camper, I pulled up your video and left him and my son with their mouths hanging open!
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!
Have an Atwood with the same issue. They too have this reset button and it fixed my problem! Thanks for posting this video. I’ve went through every fuse I had and still couldn’t fix it…I was pulling my hair out. You’re awesome!
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.
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.
Mine turned out to be the thermal fuse,do you know what those white connectors are called to hook up to thermal disc? I want to order some to make up my own thermal fuses.Thanks
Just watched your video on that reset button. It keeps tripping. Not sure if I should replace the trip button switch or something else is causing it to trip. Not sure what you call the switch.
This is my first trailer so im knew at all this. If everything is running on offshore ac can you hear the refrigerator instantly come on? I hit the gfc reset button in the restroom now i hear a slight creaking sound from the fridge. Does that mean it worked?
Where were you a couple years ago :-) Could of used that info big time Am certainly glad I have it now You likely saved me 3 or 4 hundred no wait make that 5 or 6 inflation is way up now Thank you I will return and re-comment With results from purchasing that same fridge used as a removal and haven't been able to install it as it hasn't cooled You may have answered the reason
This worked for us, thank you! However we have had to do it several times this summer. Is there anything else I can check? Our dealership is 1.5 hours drive, I have submitted a service request but it's such a hassle to get there....
I’m having same problem. After a trip, fridge had no power at all! Fuse not blown, but fuse port was not hot. Breaker is good and so are in line fuses. I’m going to check this re set switch tomorrow. If this switch is the case, and I pull the fuse, shouldn’t the red ( blown fuse indicator ) light come on
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
Hello, my dad pushed the button and it was stuck pushed in. He bought a new thermal fuse but the fridge is still not cooling. Also where he replaced the fuse there’s a clicking noise like something is starting up is that normal? I appreciate any feedback
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.
My Dometic lights but the LED on the panel does not illuminate! Is it possible the hi-limit switch is defective? I haven't actually tried the reset button yet. Help, please?
We have a casita with a Dominic frig and it’s hot cooling down enough it’s temp inside is 5, I’m going to try the reset button and a different circulation fan inside frig, also I noticed no drip from the drip port on the bottom of the camper Any suggestions Thanks LINDA
I have a 4 door dometic. That was working fine until power outage last night due to storms in Oklahoma It’s showing EO now can anyone shed any light plz thx in advance
I have this same frig,turn the frig on with the on off button,the other button is to put the frig in Auto mode or Gas mode,when in Auto mode the Electricity has priority over gas,so when in Auto and there is Electric power to the RV either shore power or by the generator the frig will use the electric power,when the electric power shuts off the frig will switch over to gas,when the Electricity comes back on it will switch back to electric ,when the frig is in the gas mode it will only run on gas even if there is Electric power to the RV,hope this helps.
I found this switch, but it didn’t push in with a screwdriver. I didn’t want to break it. I’m a little ole lady with arthritis fingers so possible I didn’t push it hard enough? At least I’m on the right track!
I had found this little critter & the fuse (ok), but the little button didn’t push in or make any noise. I didn’t want to force it, but should I try harder? My hands are not strong.
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! Now I need the address of Dometic so I can go BEAT somebody for such a STUPID design! Seriously, 3 fuses AND a reset switch. C'mon Dometic - do better...
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.
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!!!!!
Mi pregunta. Se puede poner directo porque seguro ese botón está malo solo para comprobar porque yo cambié la placa y nada
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! 🙏
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!

A bag of ice in a pan will help it cool down quicker.
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
You have a leak that is a terminal issue with your fridge- get ready to replace it if you have not already😞
Thanks - was able to help my neighbor out with his fridge. Simple solution!

My don’t cooling do you think that’s the problem? Because I move the bottom and I don’t hear the click
@@azul4evermx66 Possibility that the thermal sw. itself is the problem. Cheap to replace, but again you still need the protection, so don't bypass.
@@printzapper thanks

Where were you a couple years ago :-)
Could of used that info big time
Am certainly glad I have it now
You likely saved me
3 or 4 hundred no wait make that 5 or 6 inflation is way up now
Thank you I will return and re-comment
With results from purchasing that same fridge used as a removal and haven't been able to install it as it hasn't cooled
You may have answered the reason
Reset button worked for me. Thanks
Thanks so flipping much! You rock!
Is that the temp sensor? Cuz my green light flashes once every 3 seconds stating temp sensor fault
The rest button is a fail sensor. There might be still a problem with your fridge. Possibly a leak. Just be cautious.
You are my HERO!!!
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
You are amazing, thank you , you saved me some cash !!!
Excellent. To the point and well presented. Thanks for the tip!
This worked for us, thank you! However we have had to do it several times this summer. Is there anything else I can check? Our dealership is 1.5 hours drive, I have submitted a service request but it's such a hassle to get there....
What tripped the reset button to begin with ?,they generally don't trip without a reason,"problem".
WHAT MODEL No...
I believe it has to do with heat. Mine shut off towing through Vegas when it was 118 degrees. Too hot!
I heard the click too. How long till the fan kicks on?
I’m having same problem. After a trip, fridge had no power at all! Fuse not blown, but fuse port was not hot. Breaker is good and so are in line fuses. I’m going to check this re set switch tomorrow. If this switch is the case, and I pull the fuse, shouldn’t the red ( blown fuse indicator ) light come on
Is there a source for this part in North America? I've been searching without any luck.
Thank you so much, you saved my day!!!
Thanks for that information. It worked and possibly saved me $$$$. Really appreciate it.
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.
I did notice that the element was heating the metal with the metal stretching sounds.
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
Specially designed to have to take it to a service repair shop and pay $300 for diagnosis and labor/time.💰
I just bought a 2000 fleetwood wilderness 5th wheel, I'm not sure it has a reset button. I've searched everywhere and can't find it
Mine just popped out and we didn’t know about this ...I was so mad when I found this out
Thank you! This worked perfectly.
Very helpful also helpful comments

thank you, i had to reset this after i replaced a broken electrode before it would work again
Thank you, fixed the fridge
I'm sure going to give that a try thank you sir
What if it sparks at you? It wasn't a continuous sparks, just sparked when it was touched.
Could you do a video on the Microtemp G4A00 with TF 152C
My amber light is on but it's still not cooling you have any ideas
Like that red Ram, and the red Winnie…
That is a safety over temperature switch! Find out why it tripped!
Thank God for this video!!!! It helped me out!!
Thanks for the tip!! Worked for me!
Thanks, Great info.
My switch wouldn't move. And nothing happened. I have same problem except swit h isn't moving when I push it. Help!

Saved me a 4 hour trip
I did not find that in Dometir RM2801. Does anyone know about it?
What would cause the refrigerator to shut down in the first place? If cause is not found, this is probably a temporary solution.
Thx BTW you have a great voice
I found this switch, but it didn’t push in with a screwdriver. I didn’t want to break it. I’m a little ole lady with arthritis fingers so possible I didn’t push it hard enough?
At least I’m on the right track!
These switches are all easy to push just like the On/Off button. Might not be the problem then.
@@mythologicalmyth what exactly is this switch called?
@@bonnieabrs1003 he called it a reset switch. I believe it is a 12V to control panel to heating element switch.
@@mythologicalmyth TU!
@@mythologicalmyth So if it is "ready" to be pushed in, it pops out? I also cannot push mine in.

Same here--it didn't push in at all. I've troubleshot everything else and think it is the power module board. :(
