Morning all.
As you can see by the thread title I have a problem.
I have had a quick scan around the forum and found loads of useful info (as usual) so have come up with a possible answer.
Hopefully someone will keep me right and agree/disagree with me and offer more useful advice.
The fridge is a Dometic AES type and until recently has worked very well.
The problem seems to me to be the 240v side as it works perfectly on gas.
At the moment I am not too sure about 12v as we only notice the problem when on hook up, when it is too late.
The freezer allows all of the contents to thaw and the fridge isn't as cold as it should be. ie it allows milk to go off and beer and wine to warm up.
Switching manually to gas has everything working as it should.
I have checked the MCB for the fridge and that is ok.
The fridge controls give no indication that something is wrong, that is, there are no warnings and everything is illuminated that should be.
The conclusion that I have arrived at is that the heater element has failed.
All advice and suggestions gratefully received, even the p**s taking ones.
