Dometic Fridge blinking

So I just got this 2015 29FBSS and got it setup and I went to check on the fridge and when I click the power the lights just blink. I had propane AND electric turned on. I want it to just stay on electric.

Not sure what is going on, this is my first camper so I may be over looking something. Also, the buttons are pushing back behind the panel. Is there any fix that?

What model is it? Mine is different. It may be the circuit board.

I am not 100% sure. I would have to drive back out there and look. I have every single manual and document for that camper and the only thing fridge related paperwork wise is the outside fridge, which is different. There was no troubleshooting paperwork in the manual for the inside fridge.

Did you try lighting the stove to purge the gas line? Other than that check the library at the top of the page. You'll find the owner's manual for it once you determine the model number from the inside of the refer. With most all of the appliances that are Lp you need to operate a burner first, WH, furnace etc.

As said above, tell us the make and model and we'll know more what's going on.

Some fridges the blinking light pattern signifies an error code. If it's blinking a certain pattern (2 blinks, stop, repeat, etc.) then we can look that up.

Okay sorry for the delay. It was an hour and half away. I just got to it and the model number is DMR702.



I posted a video above that shows what it does when you click power on.

From your vid it looks like the control panel has broken loose and probably has some broken connections. It's not coming on for sure. I don't see a propane problem or anything remotely like that, but the panel is definitely broke and would need to be repaired or replaced.

Looks like you need a new eyebrow board. I can't find any parts for that unit online, but you may be able to call Dometic and they might have them.

Okay, I pulled that off yesterday and pushed it back into the panel so it stays still now. But that board where I am clicking the buttons at needs replaced?

If i call up dometic, what would I tell them the part name is? Eyebrow board?

Start by telling them that. They should know what you mean even if they have a different name for it.

Those push pads are NOT designed to be pushed with a key either.
I suspect you've damaged the eyebrow board.

Yea, I know that. But we pushed it with our finger, it got pushed back. It was like that when I bought it.
