DMR702 auto switch fails?

Have you ever hear of this problem before?

Power goes out and DMR702 switches over to propane.

Propane runs out during this time. Power comes back on.

Fridge/Freezer stays off with blinking blue lights.

Everything in freezer and fridge spoils and smell is impossible to get out.

How long was the power out? The fridge will run on a tank of propane almost forever?
Power go's off and DMR702 switches over to propane.
Propane runs out during this time and quite possibly the battery went dead also.
DMR702 control system shuts down because of no 12VDC power.
Power comes back on, DMR702 does not because it takes awhile for battery to recharge. Once the voltage dropped below about 9 it will play havoc with the fridge controls.

Power was out for about two hours. Propane ran out during that time. I assume it never switched back automatically. I was away for 8 days and got confirmation on the outage time from neighbors.

If your battery went dead or even discharged below about 9 1/2 volts, it could of screwed with the control system. Sometimes when that happens you need to kill all power and then turn the fridge back on.

Is it switching back over now? Usually when the board go's it does not come back.
