12V refer fuse replacement 003.docx (3.2 MB)We are camping at the Blanco State Park and discovered the refrigerator fuse is blown. This is a unique Furrion fuse the is located in back of the refrigerator and can only be accessed by removing the refrigerator. I understand that Furrion is aware of their really gross design flaw and has a kit out to solve their engineering mistake. If you have one of these refrigerators, I recommend you take action to make sure the kit is installed. Ideally, the fuse should be a standard located in an location you can access without removing the refrigerator.
Put the trailer in United RV of Ft Worth, TX on 09/10/21 to repair the refrigerator since it has a 2 year warranty. The Furrion recall replaces the proprietary fuse with an attainable blade fuse leaving it in the same inaccessible location. I'm also having them check the solar system since it appears that it is not working and check the battery since the trailer sat over night and the battery did not have enough power to retract the slide. The service technician said that since they know the refrigerator has a recall, it may only take two weeks. Anything else will take at least seven weeks. Its disturbing to purchase a new RV and you can't get it serviced under warranty in a reasonable period of time.
My 12V fuse panel has a spare fuse position. After the warranty period, I may extend the compressor fuse wiring to the spare position in the 12V fuse panel. It has the advantage of being easily accessed plus it has an indicator light that lights when a fuse blows.
