The van has been in service for the last couple of weeks, however, this evening, I put her to bed. Went around doing all the usual stuff. Anyway, long story short, got to the fridge, emptied all the food and tried to switch it off. Nothing, it stubbornly refused to switch off.
Working in IT, I immediately tried the most effective cure for all things electrical, I shut down the Sargent, and switched it back on after about 10 seconds. The fridge came back on, but still refused to switch off using the power button.
So that my entire gas supply isn't depleted, I set the fridge to 12v (which is the same as off) and left it. The fridge in question is a Thetford N112, it works in all modes (I tested it) therefore in my mind this must mean the PCB is still working.
My fault diagnosis is the LCD display board has an iffy micro switch. I have located a spare part online, and am about to hit the order button. Anyone have any experience of this issue? Any pointers as to what else could be wrong before I waste £70 only to find out it still isn't fixed?
