Fridge stopped working

[Oceanwagen]

Hi, the fridge on my 2024 6.1 Ocean has stopped working. The light is still on but the fridge isn’t cold. I can’t hear any humming noise from the fridge. We had it set at 5 as usual and have tried setting to max setting but still won’t come on. Anyone else had this problem?

are you on electric hook up or running off the lesuire battery?

Thanks for you reply.
Electric hook up.

Since I posted I switched on the ignition and the fridge came back on!

Your controller may be flaky. I had mine replaced recently as the fridge would turn off randomly even will at least 3/4 charge on the leisure batteries. Happened 3 times over various trips and 2 years.

Yes, I think that might be an issue as we have noticed the fridge had switched itself off again recently without us touching the controls.
Not ideal, although at least we are aware to check now before food is ruined!

Pop one of these in your fridge, keeps a record of temp changes (handy if you have raw chicken etc..)

Another thing I noticed was that the settings vs fridge temp has changed with the new controller. A setting of 2 with old unit and I could get liquid to freeze if placed near the back. New controller and I need setting 5 to get 4C. The compressor seems quieter too. Could be coincidence but could also be related to the problem controller.

Definitely setting 5 is what we have set ours, although (when the fridge works) you need to avoid putting beers near the back wall to avoid freezing!

Can I ask, was there a particular reason why you wanted to know if it was EHU or leisure battery?
Thanks again.

If leisure batteries maybe they were low or too low on power

Ah, makes sense. Leisure batteries had plenty of charge even if the EHU had stopped working.
Thanks again.
