Which is precisely what I have done. Plugged the Dometic into a
household 110V receptacle. And confirmed the receptacle I plugged it
into worked first.

So, plugged in . . .

A. nothing gets hot. Nothing boils. Nada.

B. There's definitely sloshing sounds when I tilt the fridge back and
forth.

Does this suggest there's only an electrical problem with the boiler?
Might be fixable? That would be cool.

Remember, I couldn't get the fridge to work on propane either and I
did all the basic system checks before pulling the unit, like blowing
out the vent and drain stop. But all that might be unrelated to the
110v electrical problem.

My life is troubleshooting.
