Troubleshooting an Everchill RV Fridge That Will Not Cool Down and Has the Numbers Flashing
Question:
Brand new camper, cannot get the fridge to cool down, the temp stays at 1 and 2 and just blinks

Expert Reply:
The temperature light is likely flashing because of a lack of full power to the fridge, it requires 11 amps. Which is a good amount. It is likely trying to attain more power than available, which is why the lights are flashing but the compressor is still running. I recommend checking to ensure you have the amperage required, you can do this using a Digital Multimeter # PT89ZR. If you do and the fridge is still problematic you will need to have it serviced by a qualified technician. Or you can contact the dealer you purchased your camper from since it is new, this may be something they will handle.
