 Topic: Hooked my 179 up to 240volts!!Posted: 15 Jun 2021 at 11:01pm |

By mistake I plugged into a 240 volt line. My son was in the rig and heard a big POP and we smelled burned electric inside. Hard to tell where.
No 12 v fuses blown and the 12 v system works. I’m wondering where to look first given the huge charge I put on the system. Maybe the converter would be a logical start? Open to all electrical opinions!!

Start with converter, then check every single appliance and outlet because you could have damaged anything connected to the circuit.

The Progressive Dynamics PD4655 is a popular upgrade option. I have one ready to go

Where do I start diagnostics of each of three appliances affected? No digital display on micro or refer or thermostat. All have power to the units. Could I be so lucky to just need replacing motherboard and display?😂

Unfortunately the Dometic control boards are made of unobtainium, it's often cheaper to replace the whole fridge. But it is 12v powered so be sure it's getting that before you start shopping.
