Dead as a Dodo Electrolux fridge (1 Viewer)

[fred flintstone]

Just trying to sort this fridge problem. It says RM 4281 S inside.
There appears to be no power to the fridge.
On hook up if I turn it on nothing happens, even the green light doesn't come on.
On 12v it's the same, but the red light does not come on.
If I try on gas the orange rocker switch doesn't show any sign of life.
Everything else in the van works fine. Mains, 12v and gas appliances all OK.

I have checked all the fuses I can find and took the covers off the outside and all appears ok in there.
Hope someone can give me an idea of what to check next.

Need to test to see what terminal have voltage, as in a previous thread i would start by getting permenant 12v supply working when not running as this will probably stop every thing else working does it work on 240?

if you are not fully proficient with a multimeter, steer well clear of the 240v side, it can easily kill you

Mcb tripped in consumer unit?

 

[fred flintstone]

I am not very handy with multi meter so I am not touching the 240v side.
It doesn't work on 12v or 240v.
Mcb is ok.
I have caravan repair guy looking tomorrow, hope it's something simple.
I will post his findings tomorrow.
Thanks for all your input, much appreciated.

He said fridge was ok on mains and 12v. I have constant hookup so I don't need gas.
I thought it was not working because switches didn't light up, he said these switches do not have bulbs in
I also thought switch had to be down to be on but apparently switch is up when on.

I learn as long as I live and live as long as I learn....

I have an even more embarrassing fridge confession. After using our van for a year I discovered that the we had never had the pilot light lit on the fridge. So every time we had it on gas it hadn't actually been on. It just must have stayed cold from EHU and 12v. Glad to have got that one off my chest.

Someone on here says "the only stupid question is the one you don't ask"
Agree 100%

and its fixed, even if it wasn't broken

just a call out charge, no rip off priced parts and you can now use it with confidence

good result in my books
