Another Dometic RMD 8555 question

[dianacr]

I have another question regarding the Dometic RMD 8555 3 way refrigerator. We had some repair work done recently on our new 2020 23FBT when it would not run on 12V after purchasing in July. It worked on propane at the time. Now we are using it for the 1st time since the repair and are plugged in. The fridge is working fine but it’s very hot and we wanted to accelerate the cooling process by using propane. It alarms immediately when selecting propane. Tanks are full and the stove works. According to the manual troubleshooting section, if it doesn’t operate on gas, there should be an upstream shut off device that must be open. (No picture in the user or installation manual). We are wondering if the dealer could have shut it off when fixing the 12V and forgot to open it. Is anyone aware of a shut off device and if so, would you describe it and it’s location. In the exterior panel we see the gas connections, but a shut off valve isn’t readily apparent. Thanks!

This is a comment I had on another post in the GT forum re: the refrigerator. Whenever I went to choose propane it would not accept that entry. The flashing red triangle button resets the system. I pressed that button and then propane started working.



"On another note, my Propane would not work on the fridge this morning so I had to use the battery. My wife found out that sometimes air gets in the lines between trips. I pressed the flashing red triangle button. That is also a reset button and now it works."

I have to give credit to my wife for that one. I had the issue when trying to use my batteries as a source and then propane wouldn’t work. She searched the Airstream Addicts Facebook page and found that solution.
