Hello,

Could anyone tell me how much power the GC600 2022 fridge consumes?

I started looking into the fridge's operation after it frequently triggered a low-voltage alarm. As a first step, I ran a 6 mm² cable directly from the leisure battery to the fridge to avoid unnecessary voltage drops caused by thinner wires. Despite this, the fridge still cooled poorly until I realized the condenser fan wasn't working. After replacing the fan, the fridge has been cooling well, but is it normal for the pipes to oxidize, or could it have overheated without proper cooling?

The momentary power consumption when the compressor is running is 80-85 W.

Could there be an issue with the compressor? In my opinion, the fridge is still draining the battery too quickly.

The power shown in the pictures is both when the battery is charging and when it's discharging.

Corrosion is normal, Humidity condenses on input and output of compressor.
