In outside compartment next to control module is a 'terminal block' (4 lugs) with 12V DC +/- wiring coming in and then 12V DC +/- going out.
RED (+) goes to 2 different devices.......1 is a thermal disc on burner stack
the other goes to a fuse holder (3A) them up to very top of fridge to another thermal disc (Attached to far right fin of condenser....closes 130*F/opens 115*F) from disc down to fan which is located mid-section center just above absorber tubes.
IF outside ambient temps are not above high 80s fan may not need to run but fan could be bad, thermal disc could be bad or wiring could be loose
Accessing condenser section and thermal disc.....
Either via upper side vent in slide out or down thru roof vent.
