Frig. - Eliminate 12V DC Heating Function

[John Suter]

My experience is the people at Dometic are very
helpful via telephone and will have suggestions and
guidance, and even help to find "out of stock" and
upgrade boards. Have handy, both your refrigerator
serial number, and the cooling unit serial number
before you call, however. It's apparently the way
they locate appropriate schematics.

Obviously don't know about your unit; however, ours,
and 2 I've looked at since my discovery, indicate
Bluebird wired the 12V directly from the battery bank
to the rear power supply board (accessible via the
outside panel) through an in-line fuse holder, then
stuffed/pushed it back into a cabinet hole. It is
easily overlooked because the fuse holder is
wrapped/covered with electrical tape and looks more
like it covers a "wire splice."
