Fridge Not Working

Without our Waeco we had a similar problem and found that the "Diode" in the line going to the compressor that detirmines what speed the compressor runs at had broken inside the plastic casing and was only making contact sometimes. Not sure if your model has a Diode in the line, but if it does try taking it out and the fridge will still run without it, just slower, which is not a problem in cooler climates.

Sounds like it has to be a broken wire somewhere if not there.

We have had quite a bit of fridge trouble and the fault turned out to be poor connection(s) at the block where the power leads to the fridge are pushed in. The indicator to us was that the light & fan would run but the compressor kept tripping on low voltage cut out. Although these are not you symptoms it might pay to just check the push on connectors as ours were pretty loose.

A couple of things, first of all Bushtracker is not a one man dog and pony show. And to be quite frank about it, I am not qualified to hazard a guess on some of these things. I do not think this Forum can be a troubleshooting forum on the minutest detail guessing what the problem could be with other Manufacturers products and misshaps... It is just not my department. Design, engineering, experimentation, invention, lifestyle, practical usage, these kind of things are more my department. But the tiny nuances and details of other bought in products is a specialty on its own. One Man, Peter, does it full time, and is just better qualified to hazard a guess than myself, and would suggest a phone call to him...

It is obviously electrical, and the other Boggers responses were the kinds of things to look for. I am answering because I don't want you to think that I am ignoring you.... But, Peter would be more qualified to hazard a guess, or know it it has happened in the past... As usual, most (99%) of all warranty problems are not with Bushtracker, but the other products bought in... I use the best gear we can find, but... The advice from the other Boggers is right on, and you probably need to take out a vent and get in there and wiggle the wiring around trying to find a loose or broken connection. These things get hammered a bit on the corrugation... And wires come loose, connections come loose, and fracture.. Or give Peter a call to see what he can remember from past units or talk to the Manufacturer...

Kind Regards, stg

Another fridge problem - ours runs fine on 12 volt. Before we left, we tried out the air conditioner on mains power, with the fridge turned off at the 12 volt board. The fridge started as soon as the mains power was connected. On the road, we tried running it off the generator, but it does not work on 240 volt any more. Maybe some connection has dropped off - my husband is keen to get into the works and have a look - something i would not let him do while we were out and about. The 12 volt was adequate so it wasn't a problem, but there may be times when the weather does not deliver. Any ideas out there?
