Hi, having problems with my fridge. I put a plug on the fridge,it worked brilliantly,ice box froze and very cold inside fridge. Then I put the fridge in position in our campervan. Wired it up,pluged in the hookup cable, left it for couple of hours,😞 found it wasn't working. Then I disconnected the wires from the fridge. Got a lamp, with bare wires showing ,connected up to the fridge wires, the lamp lit up. So it proved that the hook up cable is good, also fridge works in (battery) driving mode,and gas. Can anyone shed some light on the problem please. 🙏

Is the campervan level?
Some fridges do not work if the van is on a slope.

That really only applies when using gas. I've never found it a problem when on hook up if the van is not level.

Have you checked the obvious things like the switch and the thermostat ?
Have you checked that you haven't accidentally disconnected a wire during the installation.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.
