TROUBLE SHOOTING
VOLTAGE
The most common cause of an incorrectly functioning fridge is a lack of
voltage.
Your fridge has built in battery protection and needs the following minimum
voltage for the compressor to start (Cut-in) or stop (Cut-out).
Battery Protection Settings
VOLTAGE
CUT OUT
CUT IN
12 V
10.4 V
11.7 V
24 V
22.8 V
24.2V
During fridge operation, a load is placed on your power supply which can
cause your voltage level to drop by as much as 2 V. This occurs especially if
the wiring in insufficient or if there is a loose connection somewhere.
If this occurs, your fridge may exhibit a continuous start / stop / start pattern. If
so, have your wiring checked by an electrician when under a 10 A load.
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
Check:
•
Correct power supply
•
The built-in fuse
•
The voltage to the compressor is still 12V when a 10 A load is placed on
the wire
•
The fan is operating
•
The polarity of the connections are correct
•
There is adequate ventilation to the rear of the fridge
•
The fuse is not blown
•
You have given the fridge enought time to cool down
