We checked all the breakers, the fridge has power the fan is running. It's only pulling 3 amps of power on the power panel. The motorhome is setting level.
If the fan is running and it is not cold.
CHECK your coach battery.
Fridge thermostat needs strong 12 volt to work. It can't turn on if there is low voltage 12v..
The fridge WILL run without 12v but it can not turn the thermostat on to make it cold.
Been there done that I had every repair known to man suggested when I had that same problem. ONE forum member told me to check the battery. I had bad convertor which in turn did not supply constant 12 volt.
You are forgetting. IF the 12 volt fan is running, then there is enough 12 volt power to operate the refer 12 volt controls. Refer controls are millivolt. The fan is full 12 volt operation. WHY check the battery? If the Power Converter is to spec, the refer will have 12 volts. Doug
