No power to my fridge (1 Viewer)

[David & Gill]

Hi All
I am not getting any power to my Dometic fridge on my Autocruise Rhythm Compact.when I press the button to switch onto gas or electric nothing happened,it. does not work when I run the engine as well.It a 3 way fridge,I have never had a problem with it in the past.I have checked the 12 volt Fuses and checked the 240volt breakers in the consumer unit.Any idea where I should start to look.

Which model fridge is it?

Does the fridge light come on

 

[David & Gill]

No lights come on and the model is RMS8401

Don’t know if this any bearing on the mater but I took my camper to Truma for a service on the boiler last week.

you need to check with a multimeter if you have power to the fridge

 

[David & Gill]

I have got a multimeter,where do I get access to the connections on the fridge?Can I access then though the rear vent or does the fridge need to be pulled out.

Normally through the vent where the wires should have a connector, possibly a bad connection. Good luck.

some fridges have two connections one for twelve volt running and one for light or there will be one connection and a dplus terminal

Managed to get the vent off but unable to get to the wiring without pulling the fridge out so I am not going there.
What I have found is when I switch off the psu and switch it on again the light inside the fridge comes on for a second then goes off and lights on the front panal come then go off.When I took the front panal off to look behind the switches there is a printed circuit board so I cannot go any further.

If you have 12v and 230v items that are working OK, and the fridge has not been used since you boiler service, I suggest you contact where you had your boiler serviced and talk to the person who carried out the job, explaining your possibly inherited problem.
