According to Everchill, the first and most important thing you'll want to do is check that it's receiving a full 12V of power. If it's not getting enough power, the lights may work, but there won't be enough power to cycle the compressor. This is typically the issue in cases like this. The refrigerator is covered by a 1 year warranty.
