Danby Fridge DCR122 black

Tomorrow is my GO date for our first trip in the new rig...

This thing isn't cooling... it was plugged in in the outdoor kitchen, I plugged my trailer in to top off the batteries and heard it running... i thought... hmph.... opened it. not cold... water bottles were hot..

So i thought maybe the voltage dipped and the unit was stuttering... So i unplugged. Dragged the trailer to the side of my condo, plugged into 30A, and after 3 hrs.... still warm.

I threw some ice packs in the freezer compartment, some cold soda and water in there... hoping for the best...

any thoughts....

    Got the same Danby model in our 2013 WhiteHawk. Only time it's been on was at the PDI and it worked great. Only control I know of is the temp control in the fridge.If not cooling it's got a warranty on it..........

    I hear the fridge running. I'm gonna pull it and see if there is a magic switch somewhere

    You should be able to hear it run as this frig has a compressor. aarond76 has good advice. Is it on a ground fault circuit that needs reset? Circuit breaker off? Works on an extension cord plugged into the house?

    1) Plug something else into the refrigerator outlet to see if the outlet is working.

    2) Someone else on here reported a similar issue. They pulled the refrigerator out and found an on/off switch on the back of the unit. They also swore they had heard it running, dealer said there was not on/off switch, they could not find anything about an on/off switch in the manual.
