Now I've read a few threads here but they don't quite cover what I need.
Leaving for hols in a few days so fired up the fridge and it clicked as if to expect gas..but I'm plugged into the mains!
Checked that the fridge is getting 230V mains and it is.
So it looks like it does not want to switch over to mains, I will trial when I get home tonight to see if it will fire up on 12v, but does anyone know if there is a relay that clunks over to mains that might not be working? I've noticed a 12v relay in the back, I don't think this is it as the mains does not connect to that. Quickly took the top front off and there is a potted PCB there, can't really see a relay there either.
I will investigate more tonight but thought if I asked the question now, by the time I get home from work some people might have suggested a few things I could try.
Cheers.
