RUN -

 

   

This indicator will be illuminated whenever the fridge compressor is running  

   

 

and the compartment is being cooled.

  FAULT ID -

   This indicator is used to identify fault conditions that may occur with the  

   

 

refrigerator such as low power supply.

                      

This indicator will flash a pre-determined number of times every 4-seconds  

 

 

when a particular fault occurs (see table below).    

1

  Low voltage. This is shown when the DC supply voltage is low. The battery could be  

 

  flat, wiring losses are too high or there is a poor connection to the power source.

2

  Fan over-current cut-out. There is a problem with the ventilation fan. It is possible that 

 

the ventilation fan is damaged.

3

  Motor start error. The compressor has not started successfully. This can happen in   

 

extreme environments where the refrigerator is heavily loaded & temperature is very high.

4

  Minimum speed error. The motor cannot maintain a minimum speed of 1900 rpm. 

 

This can be the result of an internal electronics failure.

5

  Thermal cut-out. The electronic circuitry has over-heated. This happens in very hot 

 

environments. This can occur when the fridge is over-loaded with warm contents and 

 

the ambient temperature is high. The electronics will re-set when the temperature 

 

has dropped. 

6

  Electronic Compressor Driver hardware failure.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

REMEDIAL ACTION

The fridge will not run

when connected to 12V,

but only when connected

to 230V mains.

12 Volt polarity reversed.

The battery is discharged.
The DC supply has inadequate 

wiring, causing voltage loss.

(See page 9)

Fridge is initially connected to a 

battery that is not fully charged.

Check polarity to battery is correct.

Recharge the battery.
Ensure all connections are secure.

Ensure supply has 4mm2 wire or 

thicker and that the vehicle’s body is 

not used as an earth.
Select “Low” on battery protection

(See page 10 and 11)

Fault ID light flashes once

every 4 seconds.

The ventilation fan is

noisy or not running.

The ventilation fan is blocked or 

damaged.

There is excessive dust or dirt 

build-up on the fan.

Fan damaged.

Check the ventilation fan for 

obstructions.

Ensure sufficient space is allowed

around the ventilation area. (page 7)
If the fan is broken, return the 

refrigerator to an authorised agent 

for repair (page 17).

The Fault ID light is 

flashing twice every 

4 seconds.

The Fault ID light is flashing 3 

times every 4 seconds.

The compressor failed to start 

correctly.

High pressure due to over-load 

or Electronic Compressor Driver 

failure.

Under high pressure conditions this 

fault will rectify itself automatically 

when gas pressures equalise.

Continuous 3-flash conditions may 

require Electronic Compressor 

Driver replacement by an authorised 

service agent. (Page 16)

The Fault ID light is 

flashing 4 times every 

4 seconds.

The compressor is not maintain-

ing the correct minimum speed.

Continuous 4-flash conditions may 

require Electronic Compressor 

Driver replacement by an authorised 

service agent.

The Fault ID light is flashing 

 

5 times every 4 seconds.

Compressor area is over-heated.

The cooling fan is in-operative.

Ambient temperature very high.

Fridge over-loaded.

Check fan. Check for inadequate 

ventilation (See page 7)
Wait for ambient temperature to 

drop. (See page 17)

The Fault ID light is flashing 

 

6 times every 4 seconds.

Electronic Compressor Driver

 

failure (controller detects 

abnormal parameters.)

Replace NL25-C3 Compressor 

Driver (see page 16)

The thermostat display is

showing “ Prf “

The internal temperature probe is 

faulty, damaged or disconnected.

Contact a National Luna service 

agent for a probe replacement.

In abnormally high temperature conditions, the compressor may switch off for one minute 

and then attempt to restart. It will continue to do so until temperature conditions improve.

In the event of unusual or undesired operation, consult the table below before contacting a service agent.

Status indicators will identify the 

current operation of the refrigerator.
