We carry the Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer, # 324-000119 the replacement model for the WD-282FWDC. But each are similar. Note that it will easily take an hour or more to reach set temperature, depending on ambient temp at start. It will always get cold in the freezer first and is best to check operation of a full refrigerator, not empty. This is most easily accomplished by simply placing containers of water in the refrigerator to increase mass. Please check to ensure that all coils and vents are clean allowing full air flow. This unit requires at least 11.5v DC to properly work. You can use a voltage meter # PT89ZR to check the voltage running to the outlet and if you're getting less than 11.5v DC you'll need to increase the gauge of your wiring running from the battery to the outlet.

If replacement is needed, please follow the link for Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer, # 324-000119.
