Thank you Gafferbill. I have replied so to keep the OP going. I'll try the reconnect and try again. Bit worried that there is two PCB's though? Well over 200 quid to replace both? I see the thought that switching off completely may terminally reset, I hope it works for me but surely fuse removal would have the desired effect? I'll let this post know later.

I have, over the years, sorted a few fridge "issues" by physically disconnecting the 12v supply for 30 seconds and reconnecting. A bit like control/alt/delete on a computer, which I suppose is what a PCB is like.
That would now be my very first "Go to" for any fridge issues, it onky takes a few seconds but could save a fortune but it's vital to physically separate the multi plug to ensure total disconnection.

Hi, yes Mr Plodd. I intend to reconnect it in the next hour or so, fingers crossed it works for me? A friend of mine, he has a car repair garage. He calls it "Terminal Reset "and it's the very first trial he and his Staff try with any electrical issue resulting in success very often.
I have to report that didn't work? So? What next? Remove the PCB and send off for repair I suppose? Any recommends please?

Bluetonic, have you had anything like a PCB repaired by these people?Fridges | Apuljack Electronics

Not a PCB as such but two I know, me plus one have had new chargers to replace the broken BCA unit. The other was a repair to an old Nord Electronica charger and control unit fitted to an older Sterling. All work was excellent.
Going to give this one final go before removing the board, hopefully for repairHi, yes Mr Plodd. I intend to reconnect it in the next hour or so, fingers crossed it works for me?

I had early issues last year with the Thetford N series in our Bailey Cabrera where the fridge panel and internal lights would start flashing. Long story short, the 12v -ve connection from the fridge was via the fixed gas pipe! All the issues were resolved by the dealer installing a proper -ve connection direct to the van chassis. Within all the messing around, one of the attempted resolutions was replacing the PCB.
As part of this thing, I did a set of remote activities to try and rectify - the disconnection reset included. It required disconnection of the solar panel from the controller, as the panel isn't properly connected (i.e. direct to battery).

I'm baffled - caravans don't generally use the chassis for the 12v -ve, unlike cars - I'd expect to see a fully wired 12v -ve system.
There should of course be a 230v earth connection to the chassis.
I purchased a Bailey charger from them and they have a very good reputation
