I have a Dometic RM 8501 refrigerator and my unit suddenly lost power to the upper control panel. The fridge worked one nite and the next morning the control panel went blank with no interior lite, I tried everything to restart with no luck. There is power to the terminal block on the back of the fridge (12V )
so I looked for any fuses and found none. I am assuming that it is the Main power controller, it is a board that is potted in epoxy and only has terminal points. A new controller costs $480!! Now I have the question, do I replace the controller and hope it fixes the problem? If not I am out $480, or do I replace the whole fridge, and what will that cost? I will find out Monday if they even have the controller in stock. Is there anyone with similar problems, if so what did you do?
