AC/shore power:
Check raw water strainer for the refrigeration system located under the hatch just forward
of the ladder on the starboard side to make sure it is clear and the thru hull is open.
Ensure refrigeration switch on the DC side is off.
Turn on refrigeration switch on the AC side.
Check to make sure water is flowing from the overboard, starboard side, just forward of
the cockpit.
DC/engine power:
THE REFRIGERATOR SHOULD ONLY BE ON WHEN
THE ENGINE IS RUNNING
Check engine raw water strainer located under the hatch just forward of the ladder on the
port side to make sure it is clear and the through hull is open.
Ensure Refrigeration switch on the AC side is off.
Turn on Refrigeration switch on the DC side.
Turn the timer knob in the galley next to the fridge, ensure red light comes on.
You will not see water coming out of the starboard side as if you were on AC/shore
power. The engine water is cooling the refrigeration while on DC/engine power and exits
at the stern where the engine raw water discharges.
TROUBLESHOOTING REFRIGERATION:
1.
Make sure that only one switch is turned on, on the electrical panel.
2.
Check to ensure thru hull is open, sea-strainer is clean and water is going
overboard.
3.
If running on DC/engine power, ensure the timer has not tripped.
4.
The AC/shore power refrigeration unit is located under the bunk in the starboard
aft cabin; there is a red button on it that will reset the unit if it trips out on high
pressure.
5.
If water is not exiting the boat on AC/shore power shut down the breaker and
bleed the raw water strainer to ensure no air pockets and then turn on the breaker
and check the starboard side for water flowing.
The ice box (fridge) drain pump switch is on the main electrical panel.
