Help, 2003 Arctic Fox fridge isn’t staying cool when on DC

Quick question - has anyone had this issue with their refrigerator and if so, how can I resolve it? We were hoping to run the RV fridge on DC electric while driving. We have 200 watts of solar pan...

OK, thanks every one for your replies!


The biggest issue is voltage drop.

My 3 way fridge works GREAT on 12 volts--so long as I'm plugged into shore power. On batteries only--even though I have 556 amp-hours and 256 watts of solar it doesn't work well at all.

If you want to "fix" the problem, then add a dc to DC charger and set the voltage at 14.8.
