hello folks,im a bit stuck at the moment im trying to wire my 3 way fridge into my t25 devon sunrise 84,currently the gas side is connected but iv wired the 3 core cable into the consumer unit -trip switch thing in the cuboard,but when i plug the 240 volt cable into the house socket the fridge doesnt seem to work,also the 12volt connection on top of the fridge has two wires im thinking live neutral any idea which way round they go? any help id be gratefull thanks steve.

12v shouldn't matter which way round you wire it as it's a 12v heating element... as for the 240v I couldn't say....

The 240v mains flex from the fridge usually has a 13A plugtop on it and it is plugged into a socket that is wired directly into a circuit breaker in the consumer unit.

The 12v connections are positive and negative; the positive side should go to the switch.

thanks lads il have a look steve.

hi im taurus... when u plug your fridge into the 240 mains in the house you should get heat coming out of the
top exhaust after a few mins. this is the heating element working ... if this dosent happen then your heater
element on the 240 side is gone.. if youve got an avo then u can go across the heater element and u should get
a resistance , sorry i dont know off hand how many ohms it should be, but if your really stuck i could find out
for u tommorow, i will check mine as i know its ok
