So, my 12v fridge worked great for four days, I opened it up and found the refer light was out. Well apparently the fridge was not getting any power from the battery. Took about three days to discover the food on the inside was getting warm. (At least it held temp for almost 3 days). So, there is no access panel that is easy to get to because the fuses are located behind the unit. I called dealer and he said to bring it down for a Diagnosis.. I killed the circuit breaker at the campground power supply just to make sure my battery wasn’t dead, and it wasn’t. I flicked the circuit breaker back on to power everything back up and lo and behold the fridge came back to life.. Can anybody explain this to me? I am scratching my head because I didn’t think the 12v fridge would have anything to do with the power supply from the circuit. I just want to know if this is a common problem.. I’m not complaining right now because she is running and getting cold, but is this something I should have the dealer look at?

Maybe the battery was low. In the user manual there’s a low power cutoff for the 12v fridge. 9.7volts if memory serves me. Has the issue happened again?

Some in-line battery fuses, only reset on power off. Don't know what you have.

Dealer had to take the fridge out to check the fuse, it is located in the back of the fridge. He discovered that during assembly they did not tighten the wires to the connectors on the back of the fridge. Causing it to be intermittent...

Things like this are so frustrating. If the manufacture would spend a little more time on quality control, we would not have these issues.
