    If your cooling system is leaking, that is a big issue and requires the refrigerator to be removed. As long as that is not the issue, then you should be able to fix it by replacing either fuses/breakers or a control board. Parts available here: amzn.to/3z5ssWE
    This is what we ended up doing in our RV for the fridge: ruclips.net/video/mxYPcA0Mvu4/видео.html

      I took my travel trailer in to Camping World because it had a leak on the max air Fan in the bathroom and they said it was coming from the refrigerator vent and I had them replac it and now the refrigerator overheats you can feel it from the outside and especially when you open the door to the camper It's like a blast furnace😮

I started the troubleshooting the electrical system AC first and then found out that I didn't have any DC going to the fridge. Turned out that a fuse was blown (doing its job). So just replaced it and it started right up.

    This is a fantastic video that helped lead me to my problem. I had no power to the refrigerator. I followed your advice up to the DC input power (red wire). The red wire does exit the connector and leads directly to the boiler thermal switch, BUT it also has a hidden fusible link right before the thermal switch. You will see what looks like black electrical tape around the red wire ( this is the fusible link. The fusible link looked good but it was was bad because this is where my power stopped and I had voltage across the link. In a pinch I jumped the link (until I can replace it) and Voila, power restored. Thank you for leading me down the path!

    • @SeidelRanch

    The round item with the popped out button is called a Thermodisk. It is a safety device and will interrupt operation if it is over heated. It can be tested for 12v DC on both sides also. The 5/6 wire harness can be tested plugged in with fine probes. You can place the negative off the mm into the red wire and the positive to the orange, that is power up to the control panel aka the eye brow. Keep on red, the green in the upper right corner is gas down and to black is electric down.

    Terrific video I learn a lot and saved money from paying a Rv guy come out plus I find out sometimes theses wire connections might be a little corrosion or rust on it I pulled them off sanded a little and jingle bells problem solved, I thought my box on outside was gone but found out wires were just dirty or no good contact

      @SeidelRanch  2 года назад +1

      That's great. Avoided a very costly repair. My experience with the RV shops is they would have probably just made you pay for a new refrigerator. Glad that was avoided.

    Was supposed to be two12v fuses, one inside the box and one two the left of it. Mine only had the one inside. After replacing both control boards and still not getting any lights inside I finally found a fusable link in the hot wire to that breaker on the condenser, it was bad internally and not sending voltage. Have no idea why it tripped. I had accidentally let it run out of gas when it wasn't plugged in to shore power, don't know if that could have had anything to do with it. In any case I bypassed it and I'm running again. I can't see where it was needed really there is already also the 12v fuse in the panel on that same wire. Video was helpful and now I have spare parts on hand if one of the control boards goes out.

    Thank you!!! This is really good! Do you have any videos on diagnosing RV/Trailer drive lights are not working when plugged into vehicle. Break and turn signal lights, as well as trailer breaks work, just drive lights are not illuminating.

    • @SeidelRanch
      @SeidelRanch  2 года назад +1

      I don't, but I would start by narrowing it down by testing the truck outlet and making sure all that is good. If the tow vehicle is sending voltage, then I would test the wires in the trailer connector. Those 7 way connectors sometimes come loose inside and you have to pull the cap off and tighten it. Hope that helps.

      It could have just been one of those times and tripped. I would watch it though. If you keep having the issue I would suspect a leak.

    • @SeidelRanch
      @SeidelRanch  Год назад +1

      It can be replaced, but you have to pull the whole unit out and take the cooling system off to put a new one on. I personally never liked the refrigerator anyway so I did this: ruclips.net/video/mxYPcA0Mvu4/видео.html
