Have you tried turning the fridge off completely? While waiting in ferry check-in lanes, I once had a moho renter ask me about problems with an auto (forget which brand) that was not operating correctly. A "reboot" solved the problem.Our fridge works fine on gas and electric, but not from engine, it’s a thetford auto. I tried manually setting it to battery but no luck.
I don't know if it will work, but with a lot of electronic kit nowadays, a long press on the power button will do a reset and restart. Could be worth giving that a go just to see?Thanks everyone. The fridge is live even with control turned off. I will remove 12v fuse when I get home. If that does not work I will check for voltage at rear of fridge. It’s still under 5 year warranty, but if I can fix it myself I would prefer to do so.
Yes a Pegaso 590Do you have a Roller Team with a Thetford fridge? It's hard to tell from your avatar.
We have a T-Line 590 but could be similar.Yes a Pegaso 590
Same here.... 240v fridge consumes even less than our Waeco 12v cool box....Definately happy I took out the 3-way and fitted a 240V Compressor Fridge
tweaked the setup a few days ago and it works very consistantly and draws (including inverter overhead) no more than 1Ah/Hour. In the summertime would easy make up much more than that with a decent solar setup.

14.6V to the control line. What about the power line that will run it off the battery?I have checked the voltage into the fridge and when I turn on the engine I get 14.6v to the fridge control. I have just found out how to check 12v element continuity which I will do tomorrow. But I cannot get into fridge control panel without an extension rod for my socket set which I have ordered. There’s a 20a fuse there which I am told is the most likely cause. So it’s either the element, fuse, or control panel. If it’s the panel or the element I will have it done under warranty. I also managed to remove the 12v fuse supply and the fault remained.
Our vans fridge is live with control turned off, unlike our first van.14.6V to the control line. What about the power line that will run it off the battery?
