Subject:84 Dometic fridge

Hi,
    Well I just took my fridge out to check connections and the 12 volt
heater. I had a problem with the Fridge running on 12 volt, it did not get
cold. I found that the connections for the 12 volt resistor/heater  were very
coroded at the selector switch. The plastic holders on the female part of the
spade plugs had started to melt. I cleaned up the connections and replaced
the female ends of the plugs and it sure seems to work better. Anyways if
anyone has problems running their fridge on 12 volt it might be something to
check.
    Does anyone know if the LED pilot is supposed to glow if the fridge is
switched to ac/dc current. The green LED glows when it's on 12 volt and
propane but does not glow when switched to ac/dc.......
                  Thanks for your time. This is such a great list. I have
learned so much about my 84 Westy.
            Jeff S
