Dometic A.E.S. fridge fault codes
A.E.S. fridges pick the energy source themselves. Priority: 1) 120 VAC, 2) 12 VDC heating element (only when the ignition key is on and the vehicle is in motion), 3) LP gas. Models: 1st gen RM663, RM763, RM1303; 2nd gen RM3500, RM3600, RM3800; plus a later 3rd generation.
