Troubleshooting An Everchill RV Refrigerator That Wont Get Cold
Question:
I have an Ever Chill WD-282FWDC 12v refrigerator in my 2020 Forest River Wildwood 28DBUD camper trailer. It does not get cold. The fans are running and the light on. It will not go into stand bye mode by holding the set button for ten seconds. It just appears to be stuck in diagnostic mode cycling through the lights. What might cause this? Thank you

There could be a number of causes as to why your Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer # 324-000119 is malfunctioning. I would start by removing the fuse to fully cut the power and waiting a few minutes for the unit to fully reset.
If resetting the unit is doesn't solve the issue then the first thing I would check is the power with a multimeter # PT89ZR to see if it's getting a full 12 volts. If not then you'll need to trace it back to the power source. The next thing to check is the ground connection. We've found that if you don't run the ground directly to the frame of the trailer you're opening yourself up for errors. If your ground is currently running into the main panel then I recommend moving it to the trailer frame.
If all of that is good then the next thing you need to do is clean out the drain line that's located in the bottom of the unit on the back. If you remove the wire cover you'll see a line running straight down into a drain pan.
If that doesn't solve the issue then there may be an internal issue with the control board and would require replacement. This is something that you'll have to go through Everchill to do though.
