A Pilote fridge that no longer cools on any power source usually points to a power interruption or a faulty circuit board.
A Pilote fridge that no longer cools on any power source usually points to a power interruption or a faulty circuit board. With a flat leisure battery or a blown fuse, every cooling mode fails. Sometimes the cause is a loose plug or a corroded earth connection behind the appliance.
Because the fridge rarely fails on all three sources at once, it pays to check the power supply and electronics first. This way you avoid unnecessary replacement of expensive parts.
Pilote has been installing refrigerators from Dometic and Thetford for years. Both brands have their own typical quirks, but the basic diagnosis is similar. If your refrigerator does not work on any power source, there is a good chance that the circuit board or the power supply is defective. If it works on gas but not on 12V or 230V, it is usually the heating element or the thermostat.

A new heating element typically costs 80 to 150 euros, a circuit board 200 to 400 euros, excluding installation. For gas problems, expect to pay 100 to 250 euros for cleaning or replacing the burner. Sometimes the fault is simple to fix, but with an older appliance the costs do not always outweigh the value of the motorhome.
Are you unsure whether an expensive repair is still worthwhile? Then take a look at the current market value of your motorhome and compare it with your technician's quote.
