Whilst we were away during the short heatwave in June our Dometic fridge in our five year old caravan stopped working. It turns out it is probably the PCB board. We have had one on order since June and there are none in the country and none have been delivered. 
The UK suppliers have a hundred reserved for customers and are not taking anymore names.Sounds as though this is a common problem on the Dometic fridge.
Can a PCB board be repaired?

    You could always try LINK they test & repair Truma PCB boards but no mention of Dometic stuff.

    a further thought….you could try Electrolux PCB board repairers like this one LINK

    PCB boards can generally be repaired but often discarded as it’s much easier to replace than test & repair. Locating the bloke in a shed that does it is the difficult bit - good luck.

    You say “probably” the fault, have you tested the thermostat? They are prone to failure.

    There is a company at Burton-upon-Trent that helped me out with a fault on my Omnivent controller at a price far cheaper than buying a new controller. He is a one man band but seems quite knowledgeable. He is/was a caravanner.

    The company is Electronic Services (Derby)   

    Phone  -  01283 353228

    email  -  info@electronicservices-derby.co.uk

    Hope this might help.

    Mmm, you may get more responses - if that’s what you need - by reposting this thread elsewhere, as currently it’s sitting in ‘Storage’, meaning caravan and MH storage.
