Refridgerator noise
I hear a near constant noise from my fridge. It sounds like a fan and it runs for about 10 seconds every 15 to 20 seconds. This constant on off sequence is IMO also running my batteries down in 2 days...

most likely is the fan. Many fridges have a fan in the exhaust stack. If by chance it's a dometic fridge, what you are experiencing with the short cycling is a common issue. There is a fix, but in many cases requires pulling the fridge out to fix/replace the thermal switch and properly locate it.
The only other alternative I'm aware of is installing a solar vent fan in the stack. In my fridge that keeps the 12V fan from running during the day, and in cool evenings the 12V fan doesn't short cycle.
Thank You for your reply. It is a Dometric DM2652FLBX and I have confirmed it is the fan in the exhaust stack. I'm not sure I want to pull the fridge and my stack does not go to the roof line so for now we will just live with the problem. I did send an email to Dometic to see if they had engineered a solution.
Thanks again.
