Dometic 1065. Has power but doesn't turn on.

drbeep

I have a Dometic 1065 in  my 260 EC. It has power on 12v and/or shore. The light inside turns on when I open the door, but nothing else happens. I don't hear the compressor kick in or the fan spin. Nothing happens when I adjust the temperature knob.
I thought of replacing it, but it doesn't fit through the cabin entry without removing the sliding door which is an insane amount of work. Any idea what to check? TIA.

Most likely a broken thermostat. Very common. Maybe @Dream_Inn would send you his old fridge for parts ?

What is the red light doing? It will blink if it’s throwing a code. 

Dream_Inn

I agree with Greg.  You should be able to see the code from the red light blinking.

Where is the light located? Not the one inside the fridge I suppose.

There is a red and a green LED on the thermostat.  They're side by side.

This might be helpful

The fridge I have does not have an LED panel. I'm going to use the link you posted to troubleshoot.
Thanks.

There are two indicator LEDs - circled in the image below.

So this is it. The LED board is shot. I jumpered T & C and the fridge works and cools.
Where can I order a new assembly?
I only found sites outside the US.

I would buy @Dream_Inn ‘s old fridge. Alternately this is a great source for parts and they ship fast:

Since Dometic purchased Waeco a few years ago, look for the same model number via Domestic. Annapolis CruiseAir is where I have gotten parts in the past.

@drbeep ,   I do agree with Greg on annapolis cruisair, which is right down the street from me. 

But, I have an almost (was not working reliably on AC) completely operational fridge that I'm will to part out for forum members.  I have this part in my old fridge that I can sell to you cheap.

PM me your address.

@drbeep  I just removed the entire thermostat/light assembly.  It may easier to send the whole thing?  

Or do you just want the insides?

Or do you just want the small board with lights on it that YYZRC posted?

Dream_Inn

@drbeep Did you get the lee board?  Curious if it fixed your issue?  I think @TonyG13 would like the rest of the assembly if you don’t need it.

Hi DreamInn,
I just noticed the post. Yes, indeed.
Thank you for the offer.
