No problem with mine. Since LEDs don't burn out (at least not for years) it must be a connection problem. I would start with finding the switch and see if you can pull it out and look at the wires.

Hello,
My fridge light did not work, I did not even realize that there was one till one day it came on accidentally. Then it went off and it never comes on when I open the fridge. An odd thing I discovered was the fact that when I remove the fuse for the fridge and subsequently put it back , I hear a clicking sound and presto, the light is on. Then it goes out again and can only be activated by removing and reinserting the fuse. There does not appear to be an on/off switch in the door to activate the light, since I took the locking system apart and it only contains the led block. Anyone else experience this puzzling situation? Apart from misjudging the effect of low branches , I have been very happy with this RV. Paul |

We also have this problem. Had it fixed and it is out again.

We noticed last trip that our fridge light seems to have a mind of its own too. I forgot all about it until I read your post.
The only reference to the light in the owner's manual says that after the door's been open for 2 minutes, the light will go out.

I noticed the 2-minute timer on our trip last week, too.

Thanks guys, that is good to know. It tells me that most likely the circuit board is defective and I'll contact the manufacturer for a replacement. Paul |

Hi Plodders,
Contacted manufacturer and get directed to dealer, but he is too far away, so I am trying to locate the switch in the fridge door that would trigger the leds. Does anybody know where ? A finicky Canadian |

I just went to check mine, couldn't find a switch. The manual says the LED's are "sensor controlled."
BTW, my fridge light quit working altogether this past weekend.
