Question
just bought this rig(1986 wilderness) and a rat or mouse ate the plug on the lower cir board, that was fixed by the last owner. i have the americana dometic 2652 and the compressor isn't coming on at all any help on this matter will help me out alot. i have the wiring that came with the fridge. the lights on the inside panel come on, is it possiable that the lower board is bad?

Answer
Hi Earl.
 There is no compressor on an RV fridge. It is a gas asbobion refridgerator. The 110 volt side of the operation is only a heating element that heats the chamber. Ck the amps it is drawing. should be 2.5 to 3.0 amps. Let me know what you find.
