Morning all ....
Recently my dual mode Dometic 4 door fridge fails to switch from Hydro to LP when we lose power.
It "tries" to switch but tosses out an E3 error code. It's still covered under my X-Warrenty and my dealer has ordered a new Board for it and they will come up to the park when it's parked and swap it out.
That being said, when I do lose power I also have noticed that using the battery powered lights inside, they will flicker on and off instead of working properly. Something is up with the battery. I pull it in the winter and trickle it monthly and it's always charged very quickly.
This has prompted me to wonder if a bad cell is in the battery and if it's not at the proper load, will this have anything to do with the fridge not switching over or are those 2 problems completely unrelated? I plan to take the battery to my local store for a load test, but I just thought I would check. I'd feel a little guilty if that's the issue, and not the board.
Fridge works perfect other than the switch over. As soon as hydro returns it changes back to normal.
Thanks in advance!!!!
