1. State the Year/Brand/Model number of the refer
2. I will guess a Norcold 1200 series or a Dometic NDR series
3. If Norcold and your refer is in a slide, then those fans are critical for the refer to operate. If Norcold, NO FUSE for the fans if the inside controls function. There is a Tstat on the rear upper condenser fins that controls the Fans. Jump those 2 wires and the fans should come on. If NOT, the odds are the fans are defective.
4. If Dometic the fuse will be at the rear bottom by the electrical connections to the refer. Dometic has the same tstat on the upper fins that control the fans also
5. IF the refer shuts down, then the odds are you have a Norcold, as Dometic's will not shut down from lack of ventilation
6. Are you getting a NO CO code? Doug
