Very helpful information. My fridge just wasn't getting cold on gas was lite and running but not cold worked fine on mains turned out some dork had fitted wrong size jet on a service it cost me a small fortune

Very good Mark, well done. I guess the main issue is to find out what the problem is to start with. Big expense if you are not sure. Well done.

Yes Google the error codes is a good place to start, but they don't always lead you down the correct path. 👍

Thank you for the video, useful. While the parts are expensive, at least they have back engineered to fit older fridges. Many a time ive heard the phrase well that is what you need but they are not available anymore, I bet they are cheaper than a new fridge!

Yes very true 👍

Really interesting watch mate 👍 hopefully mine doesn’t go wrong but if it does I’ll know what to do. 👍

Thetford should have stuck with toilets and left fridges to Electrolux. We had little trouble with the old 212s, and an occasional service would keep the going for years. I hated working on Thetford fridges. They were always troublesome.

Great video helped a lot 😊

My N3112 fridge (2014 coachman from new) has just failed on mains, still ok on gas and 12v, Ten years old but only a years worth of use possibly, built in obselesence looks like I'm going to have to do a similar job, thanks Thetford.

Mark, I find your vlogs hugely interesting but having owned caravans and motorhomes for the last 12 years the poor quality of the components is shocking. As a car mechanic I am well used to the shocking standards of component life but the leisure industry has reached new levels of robbing the customer with constant faults. On my three year old Bailey motorhome so far had to replace a water pressure switch developed a solar pane fault where it will not charge leisure battery and another probable pcb fault on the boiler that will not light on gas. Really not good enough.

your a cleaver man well done

Mark, whats disapointing here is that a main OEM like Thetford has designed in Obsolecence to their fridge. Why do they have to reinvent the wheel and expect the customer to pick up the tab for their reliability issues?.

Hi mark another fab vlog , i have a 2012 caravan with under counter thetford fridge , its flashing f1 , would you know what this problem is , works fine on gas , thanx

I have an old n112 thetford fridge in my caravan, ive been told the pcb has been discontinued. Is there an equivilent newer pcb that will fit? or is it a new fridge? Great videos btw.

Yes always worth checking, same with the heaters too.

Why not get the old board repaired it will be a lot cheaper. Lots of places advertise on eBay.

Nobody repairs the N112 power boards, The parts they needed to build or repair them have been discontinued , Most of the repair shops will repair the Dometic pcbs but not the Thetford ones

What a polava and expense 😢😢😢😅😅
