Westfalia 1989 Electrolux RM 184 EGI doesn’t work at all?

Post by Mikrill »

Hi, apologies if I’m asking something that’s been asked a thousand times but I haven’t found any threads that answers my issue.

I’m new to the T25 club and on my first weekend trip. My three way Electrolux doesn’t seem to work at all on hook up or 12v. I haven’t tried gas yet but most of the other threads seem to be the other way round (gas not working). I’ve replaced the fuses behind the drivers seat with a 16A on the right and 25A on the left. Still nothing and the green light won’t come on on the interface below the hob. When I first checked the fuses, the left hand one was missing, is this for the heater? The previous owner installed a new heater but for some reason didn’t get round to finishing wiring it in to the circuit breaker below the rlhs passenger seat. Could this be why the fridge won’t operate?

I was hoping it might be a relatively easy electrical fix without having to take the fridge apart etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Most 12v circuits on fridges are set up to operate while the engine is running, fed from the alternator via a voltage sensing relay, I think. I’m afraid I’m not familiar with the specific setup of westy lectrics, but I’d try on gas too.
