Dometic RMD8505 control panel removal (1 Viewer)

[Sandie]

I have a problem that seems to be quite common in that my Dometic fridge won't power off. As its 12v supply is routed through the main services control panel (Adria Matrix Access 2016), I have to switch this off entirely to prevent the fridge re-starting. I've tried the other fixes suggested in this forum.
I would like to check out the control panel, i.e. check for loose cables, debris, corrosion, but can't work out how to remove it. There seems to be a lot of screws underneath it, and a couple above, but which ones are holding the panel in? I don't want to unscrew something that I later can't re-attach for some reason.

Mine was doing the same last year. It didn’t turn off even when I pulled the fuse! I changed the control panel on mine. Mine just had tabs to push in to get it out

easy to get out. From memory, either tabs or two screws, follow the line of it. They definitely come out reasonably easy, look upwards in the freezer compartment.

I never did. Just lived with it until I sold the van. Wasn't too much of a bother to turn off the main control panel when not using the van.

I fitted a toggle switch to the grille above the oven to isolate the power supply to fridge.
