Thanks everyone. But this refrigerator thing is a big headache.
It didn’t get cold at home, but went camping plugged it in and ice cold. Took it into the dealer, it got cold no problems.
Tomorrow we’re heading out and I plugged it in Thursday afternoon, got cold, yesterday was cold. Went out and checked it this morning and it’s warm. ??? So I plugged it into another outlet and waiting.
The battery is turned off like we were told when it’s parked in the driveway. I had the refrigerator on Auto Electric. The 3 options are Auto Electric, Electric and Propane.
We did get some rain during the night but no lightning and no power loss. It’s humid now.
I’m at a loss?
OK, Works at dealer.
Works at campground.
Does not work in your driveway..
How "level" is your driveway?
Very few driveways are level, some more out of level than others.
If your level bubbles are not inside the lines like the phot above, you are operating the fridge out of level.
In spite of what the fridge manufacturer may state (and lots of folks on this forum) RV absorbsion fridges do not work well or at all once you get part of the bubble outside the lines (out of level operation).
When camping, you obviously had your RV fairly level.
When at the dealer, fair chance the trailer was sitting on fairly level spot..
Level the RV, plug in your shore cord, make sure you have 120V at the fridge, leave the battery turned on, wait 12hrs and check to see if fridge is cooling.
Thank you. I will level it. The dealer told us to turn the battery off when at home I. The driveway and turn it on when we’re traveling and turned on at the campsite? I made sure the cord to the camper was plugged in and the ring tightened. It’s just weird when it was plugged in Thursday and it got cold and was cold yesterday and then this morning it was warm.
