Great ! It worked ! Thanks Keith. We are off grid in the middle of France and you have literally saved our bacon.

Brill. Tearing my hair out for two days! Why is there no mention of this in the manual? Mine just says, check gas supply. You're a life saver.

Cheers Keith we went off grid for the first time and ours wouldn't work on gas we followed your instructions and hey ho all is well I love YouTube ❤❤

On a routine ‘on the drive’ check of the caravan I found our fridge wouldn’t connect to gas. Went to YouTube search and yours came up. Thanks for posting this and explaining in simple terms (helpful to a newbie) what to do. Fridge is now working again on gas should we need it. Happy days 👍🏼

Thank you very much, been very stressed out due to go on holiday with new motor home but couldn’t get fridge to work on gas, went through the reset procedure twice, as you showed on your video and much to my relief it came on, the joy of seen a steady blue light.😃 Thanks Lee.

After a stressful day at work your videos are always good to come home to and relax.. thank you.

Was stuck with a bleeping fridge …. This fixed it all!! Great explanation for a reset…. Nowhere in the booklets supplied was this explained.

Legend!! Have been stuffing around cluelessly for 2 hours, and after a few mins of your video I am now saved!! Thankyou very much! For others reference, on the Dometic RMDX21 model, you hold the warning (exclamation mark) button in for 3 seconds to do the reset.

Thanks so much. Swift basecamp electric onsite went off last night and fridge would not go onto gas. Tried this morning after watching your reset and hey presto it went into a steady gas light immediately, so cheers👍big thumbs up from us

Thank you so much, Keith! Loved your video. You are a life savior, or at least a food savior...
Why is this not the first thing mentioned in the manual?!?

[GlennHoussenloge]

Cheers mate. Worked a treat. Parked up at Jugiong Showgrounds in Southern NSW Australia. 👍

[jezjones]

Brilliant. Just checked mine for 10 minutes as advised, luckily all fine. Always on hook up so never checked but auto will switch to gas if site electric fails so worth trying.

Keith, you’re a life saver! We had our van from new in 2019 and had never used the gas on the fridge. It only came to light when we pulled up at a services and had lunch in the van, the bleeping drove us crazy as the gas wouldn’t light. Did your simple reset and hey presto!
A tip for long journeys if you’re taking some frozen foods with you. We wrap everything up in tin foil and also put 4 ‘ice packs’, the sort you’d put in a picnic cooler bag. It helps to maintain the temperature, especially on hot days.

Searched google ‘reset dometic fridge’ for our new fridge and this video was the first google result, already positioned at 5:58… thanks for another great tip as always Keith & Michelle, hope you’re making lots of plans for the upcoming Northern Summer (autumn here in New Zealand, hot sunny days, heater on at night!!)

Thanks SO much for posting this video. I was sure that I was going to have to take our new Bailey caravan fitted with the same fridge for warranty repair… nothing about this in the fridge documentation. Ours wouldn’t clear the fault warning after a gas bottle ran out and a new full one connected. Very relieved our long weekend away rescued!

[maciejkulinski]

Thank you very much, I just had a problem with running on gas and a reset helped. Regards.😊

[alanbooth]

Great video . Information is better than the instruction booklet received with the caravan and so relevant regarding the battery as it could be misleading that the leisure battery could support the fridge, which obviously it couldn't due to the power required to run the fridge. 👍

[caravanningwithbrenandjule]

Good advice about the 12 volt setting as a lot of people think it will run off the caravan battery and not when attached to the car

[sujo]

Many thanks that just did the trick so helpful will be able to keep the beers cold at Oulton Park now 😅 and we had this issue, all fixed thanks to you 😊

[nickhindle]

Cheers Keith. I didn't realise there is a reset function.
Our longstanding gas malfunction is now sorted
