Good morning guys,
I have recently bought a T25 and thought I would see if the fridge works, when I attached the van to an Electric Hook Up I turned the control to 240V and it tripped the breaker. Anyone have any suggestions what could be causing this before I replace it (I don't want to do this as I want to keep the van as original as I can).

Re: Fridge trips breaker
Is it the hookup breaker or one inside the van? Either way, what current value is the breaker?

Most probably mains heater element has failed - replace.

It is the breaker inside the van. It is the right one for the fridge.

Thanks for your advice. We will replace it.
