Problem with Dometic fridge

Need some help getting the problem with the fridge figured out.
What I can tell you.
Model RM2607 installed in 2002.
Panel lights come on.
DC volts to the unit 12.87
120 power to unit.
Fuses are good 3amp, 5amp
Won't start on propane or AC
Nothing from the ignitor when set to propane.
Will work on propane if I light it manually but shuts down ounce cold and won't relight
Any ideas as to what to check for would be greatly appreciated.

OK almost 100% for the control board, I'll order a new one tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for your input.

This does not address the fact that the fridge doesn't work on AC either...

I'll second the DINOSAUR Boards. Put one in my Dometic NDR 1292 and it works flawlessly.

Yes it could be a faulty board.. but
unplug and plug back in all of the connections on the board.. These connections can get a little bit of corrosion on them and then it will work erratically. This has happened to me more than once. Just unplugging the board and plugging back in fixed the problem.

Yup, Ill join the chorus.. Recommendation is a DINOSAUR Boards replacement. You may have to order it, American RV in California carries them, last time I checked a good price and prompt shipment.

Thy supplied my Furnace control board

When I replaced the furnace board one thing seriously impressed me.. The QUALITY of the Dino board.. It is very well built here in the USA. Even the design was better.. I think I know what killed my Furnace board.. It appears they agree because they protect against just that happening. (I won't say what).

Very well constructed. Don't forget to get the cover for it.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

That's the control board for sure. I put two of those in a Domectic in a 99 Lance. Finally figured out the microwave and fridge didn't like each other. Had to leave microwave unplugged. To use microwave had to turn fridge off. Finally replaced microwave. But all your symptoms are the control panel.

Sounds like my last Dometic. I bought a new board and had a new refrigerator.

I would agree with the control board being faulty. The control board is what the AC and DC systems have in common.

Symptoms of faulty control board. I had one a while back that did as yours is doing..would light up and pretend to work, but did not work. Replaced the control board and all was well. Around $125.00 if I remember correctly.
