Norcold compressor fridge troubles
Hello folks, this is my first post :).
I'm converting a truck, and I lucked into (I thought) a Norcold 12/120 for $50.
Like an idjit, I hooked it up to a 200ah AGM battery and left it overnight. In the morning, the battery was at 5v and the fridge was warm. I am working on the battery, cycling it and hoping. But, in the meantime, the fridge seems to have died.
It now doesn't work on AC nor on DC (with a different battery). It makes a little 'ringing' sound, but not its normal (louder) hum, and it doesn't cool.
I've checked the connections from fridge to battery, the AC/DC switch, and turned it off and on again like a computer :). What else can I try? I am generally comfortable with mechanical stuff, but clueless about refrigerators.
Thanks for any help.
