Fridge fuels just to check what does what (1 Viewer)

Am I right in thinking my 3 way fridge will cool on EHU and Gas and only maintain on Battery when driving?

I am loading up tomorrow to head back to the UK and it's been empty and off for 5 days.

Will putting it on gas overnight with my frozen ice block things from the villas freezer get it down to temp ready for food or does it need EHU for that?

O yea it's a new model one. Forget the make

If it's a reasonably modern model it should be OK on any energy source.

Gas or hook up should see it cold overnight, especially with ice block.

If it's on auto it will select hook up, in the absence of hook up it will select gas and in the absence of gas it will select 12v.
12v will cane the battery without the engine running....If it runs without the engine.

Not true... in absence of gas or hook-up... with out engine... it will "bleep" error"...
12v only when you start engine...

Most work pretty well on any power source, ours is best on gas but is pretty good on mains or 12v.
When running on 12v there is no thermostat so it runs continuously, so I suppose if you drove 24hours a day everything might freeze up but for normal use it's fine..

Thanks guys

I have fired it up and put half a dozen ice blocks in along with some cold drinks and then a bit of food. should be fine.

There is no auto button on the fridge but I do remember it auto switching when I first got it although it does not seem to now? I better re read the user manual to see where I am going wrong.

Either way there will be some cold beers ready for tomorrow night in Santander now
