Dometic Dual Zone Thermostat Common Problems and Their Fixes
E1 error code
This code indicates that there is a lack of communication between the CCC 2 thermostat and the power module boards or an individual power board module. The code should contain the zone that has lost communication and that information should appear on the display. If an additional zone has lost contact it will appear blinking next to the original code. To fix this problem, the first solution option to try is to perform the system reset protocol. If that does not fix the issue, then you have to trace the cable from the thermostat to the rooftop AC. Check both connections to make sure they are tight and once you unplug the cable, you will have to do a system reset. The issue may also be a component in the system somewhere that has failed and the best thing to do in that case is to replace the thermostat.
Buttons not working
If the buttons on your Dometic dual zone thermostat seem not to work, this may be caused by too much dust which has accumulated inside the thermostat or on the buttons. To fix this problem, remove the cover and start cleaning the switches. Then pry off the buttons using a tiny screwdriver so you can see the contact points. Clean those with a contact cleaning solution and some Q tips.
Thermostat won’t stay on or turn on
The first place to look will be your ON/OFF switch. If the solder making the connection is cracked or broken, then no power will be sent to the switch. Also, check all the other solder joints to make sure they are not cracked or broken. To fix this problem, simply take a soldering iron and solder and replace the old solder.
AC not cooling to the right temperature
To diagnose this problem take a reading with a handheld thermometer at different locations around the room before the AC comes on. Then take another reading at the same locations when the device turns off. There should only be a reading of +/- 3 degrees. If the gap is larger then you should do a system reset to get the thermostat to operate
Common Dometic Analog Thermostat Problems and How to Fix Them
Wiring problem
A wiring problem can sometimes be the reason your thermostat is not working or doesn’t work as it should. To troubleshoot this problem, start by taking a voltmeter and checking if the thermostat is receiving any power at all. If there is no current flowing into the device then this likely points to a problem with the wiring. You will need to establish where the wiring might be damaged by using a voltmeter or tester. If you are a DIY guy you can then fix on your own, but if not, have the wires fixed by a professional.
AC or heat is non-responsive
If your AC or heat will not turn on or not turn off, this might indicate that there is an issue with your thermostat. For an analog thermostat move the slider well past the current temperature in the direction you want the temperature to go. If you do not hear an audible “click” then it is likely your thermostat is the problem. The “click” is a relay closing sending a signal to your heater or AC that it is time to turn on. You should also hear a “click” when your room temperature has come to the correct temperature +/- one or two degrees Fahrenheit or there about. If you hear a “click” sound it is possible your thermostat may not be the issue. You can continue troubleshooting your thermostat to confirm it is not the problem.

How to Tell If Your RV Thermostat is Bad
There are several signs that you can look for to tell if your RV thermostat is not working properly or not working at all:
Temperature doesn’t match thermostat setting
If you notice that your thermostat setting is not matching up with the temperature of the room, this can be a sign that the thermostat is bad and it is not relaying the signal properly. Start by checking if the temperature reading on the thermostat matches the temperature in the room. You will need a separate thermometer to check the room temperature. If the readings are different then this will cause an issue. The air conditioner, for instance, won’t cool since it thinks it is already cool.
No display on the thermostat panel
A thermostat display a blank screen is another sign that the thermostat is bad. If you have a digital thermostat and the screen is not showing you anything then it is no wonder the temperatures have remained the same for a while.

AC or heat is non-responsive
Another sign that indicates there is an issue with the thermostat and that it may have gone bad is when the air conditioner or heat will not turn on or won’t turn off. On a digital thermostat, decrease or increase the temperature by at least 10 degrees past the current air temperature. You should hear a “click” from a relay closing, sending a signal to the AC or heater to turn on. If you don’t hear the click, then most likely your thermostat is the problem,
