Manually put it in AC mode and see what it does.
:) How would one do that? Any of these gas absorption fridges I've seen have an AUTO mode - when it sees 120 vac that's what it runs on, if 120 vac is removed it automatically switches to gas. The only other option is a GAS mode one can use to force the fridge to gas even though 120 vac may still be present ... but there's no switch available which would allow one to "manually put it in AC mode". Care to clarify? :@
You must have good battery voltage too for it to work.
The fridge doesn't care where 12 vdc comes from ... if there's no battery or it's disconnected but the converter is operating then the fridge will get it's required 12 vdc. I seem to recall my Dometic DM2652 is rated to continue running until incoming DC voltage is far lower than I'd ever allow my battery to deplete and not anywhere near close to shutting down if the battery is at 50% or about 12 vdc. Care to clarify about this as well?
