Title: Refrigerator light out
Post by: dans96u295ft on May 25, 2025, 09:37:58 pm
Bulb is good, any ideas? Original double door frig. Is the light housing hard to get off the side?
Thank you

I guess that would depend on the make and model you have. I have seen these fixtures for my Norcold...

There is so much to learn about these coaches.

Also a good idea to check for power to the switch with the fridge on - there's a 12V buss fuse you can blow when tinkering with the switch...

I don't know how many times I thought something had failed or broke on the coach just because I neglected to turn it on. One time  I changed the fog lamps just to find out I did not turn them on. Numerous other things come to mind. We have one of these Roxor 4 wheel things we use around the farm. It has a sticker on the dash that says ......don't do anything stupid.... That's good advice but sometimes I fail to pay attention.... I need one of those stickers in the coach.

Lynn, I think most of us need that sticker!
