What Ground contact, gas valve means
The Dometic RM8 support page lists ground contact at the gas valve and says to replace the internal batteries that power the electronics.
Owner-safe checks
- Replace the internal batteries as the support page describes.
- Record whether the condition returns with fresh batteries installed.
- Stop LP mode and arrange service if the condition returns.
Service-only work
- Recurring gas-valve ground-contact, LP hardware, wiring, and refrigerator electronics diagnosis are service-only.
Safety boundary
Do not service LP hardware, electrical circuits, wiring, or refrigerator controls; use only documented battery replacement and call qualified service for repeated faults.
