This fridge has an auto selector where I can select either AC, DC or propane. It is stuck on DC and I can't get it to switch to an alternative power source.
Yes, my inverter has both fuses and breakers. When I turn the fridge off, the inverter fan stops spinning, but when I turn it back on, it defaults to DC power and the inverter fan start going again.
I will state again. You have a CONVERTER, not an Inverter. Converters take 120 ac and convert to 12 volt dc. Inverters take 12 volt dc and INVERT to 120 ac current. The CONVERTER fan spins because the HI 12 volt load caused by the 12 volt side of the refer. That indicates you do indeed have 12 volt power to the refer. You CANNOT run the refer on 12 volt ONLY. It requires too much DC power and is designed to be on 12 volt only when you are in transit. The 12 volt element maintains the existing cold in the refer and is designed to do ONLY that. You must run on LP or 120 when cooling. Since you cannot get it out of 12 volt only mode, the only 2 items would be the inside control button assbly or the outside rear control module. I would suspect the outside control module. Doug
