Refridgerator

After a power outage for 5 days, our fridge will not work. It's flashing lp/ac/au but will not turn on. When we hit temp set button it just counts down and continues. Please advise. Thank you!

    Try this, Turn it off, in fact if you can find the fuse pull it, Plug in and charge the batteries for at least 2 hours. Restore fuse and try again.
  • Firdge pulls aobut an amp while it's actually cooling and runs roughly half the time. So your batteries are more than likely dead.

    Perhaps your gauge is wrong, & you're out of propane?
  • I would assume your 12V battery is dead. It is needed to run the refrigerator even when you are using propane.
  • Chances are your camper battery is drained dead also, after 5 days of power outage.Your battery may need to be charged up a while before the refrigerator operates correctly. Although it may run on gas or electric, it still takes the battery to control it.

    Try turning it off completely, waiting for a short while, and try turning it on again.
