Finally getting the trailer out after a winter and cold spring. Started to de-winterize it and discovered that the fridge does not work on propane, however works fine on shore power.

After investigation found that the 12V going to the gas valve does not exist, no 12v no open gas valve and when it is on shore power the "Check" lite is on.

I suspect the control board is faulty. Found it on Amazon for a reasonable price of $73.00.

MY question is has anyone ever replaced the board? Did you buy from Amazon? Did it solve the issue?

Thanks
 
Did you check for 12 volt coming to the refrigerator?

And you probably already checked but is the battery charged and your disconnect switch on?

checked all that and everything on 12 volts works, stove works, hot water works on propane.

leaves me to the control board
 
If you have 12 volt to the control board but none coming out I would replace the board. But that is me. And buying one on Amazon could be hit or miss. Is it OEM or a aftermarket brand? Dinosaur boards are supposed to be a good alternative to the OEM.

the board is a Dometic replacement. I ordered it so we will see
