Found this on another site:
<<Ours is the same fridge, Dometic RMS 8551 and we returned from a day out yesterday, with some frozen food, milk and vegetables, to find the thing beeping away, but with no flashing lights. I went through the manual, but there was no hint there of the cause. I switched off the fridge overnight like you did, and rang Dometic this morning and was given the following solution.
The problem lies with the wires and plug into the rear of the lamp unit becoming coated with condensation, which somehow activates the warning system - 30 beeps for 20 seconds repeating every 2min 40sec.
The cure is to pull off the plastic cover over the lamp unit, dry the wires and plug, and all is well - until the next time I assume.
A feature of the "fault" is that the fridge does keep working despite the alarm, so there's no need to switch it off if you can put up with the beeps until you are advised of the cure - OK if you can go out for a walk, but no good to sleep with.>>
Hope this helps
