Fridge Woes

Post by Sir Brixalot »

My fridge Electrolux rm212 has suddenly stopped working. The switch was cracked so I replaced it. Had a bit of wiring done to the propex recently so perhaps something shorted. Doesn't seem to be any charge reaching the fridge. Does anyone know if there's a related fuse in the main box or is there one behind the fascia in the fridge

Stopped working on gas and 12 V?
The only fuses are on the panel.
There is a relay behind the panel for the fridge when you're driving.

There is the main fuse as well

Not working on either 12v or gas. There is power at the refrigerator switch on the control panel and the fuse is intact in the control panel(I take it that's the main fuse you mentioned KTR) but no power at all on the wires attached to the fridge.

Checking all the fuses in control panel and fuse holders market replacement 3 and 4 are empty. do they actually do anything

Mines having the same problem right as we speak, might have tracked it down to the relay, just trying to source one localy.

I'd seen it on the autosleeper site but I didn't understand it. I've never used wiring diagrams but following the igniter back, it looked like it goes to a separate fuse. Went out an swapped the spots fuse over and hey presto. Thanks for the tip, Kev. I've spent hours on this and found some nasty rust under the vent into the bargain!
