Question 1

Compressor does not run due to break in supply line between battery and electronics.

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Open circuit in the connection cable, defective main switch, or blown inline fuse.. Check the 12V supply line, inspect the plug fuse, and ensure connections are secure. If the issue remains unresolved, contact an authorized service agent.

Question 2

Compressor does not run because battery voltage is too low.

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Battery discharged, loose cable connection, poor corrosion connection, insufficient battery capacity, or inadequate cable cross-section.. Charge the battery, clean or tighten connections, and replace undersized cables. If the issue remains unresolved, contact an authorized service agent.

Question 3

Compressor does not run due to high ambient temperature or poor ventilation.

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Ambient temperature is too high, ventilation is insufficient, condenser is dirty, or fan is defective.. Improve ventilation, clean the condenser, and replace the defective fan. If the issue remains unresolved, contact an authorized service agent.

Question 4

Compressor runs constantly and inside temperature is too cold on control setting 1.

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Thermostat sensor is not connected to the evaporator, or there is a short circuit in the thermostat wiring.. Fasten the thermostat sensor or replace the thermostat. If the issue remains unresolved, contact an authorized service agent.

Question 5

Cooling capacity is reduced and inside temperature rises.

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Frost buildup on the evaporator, ambient temperature too high, poor ventilation, dirty condenser, or depleted battery capacity.. Defrost the evaporator, clean the condenser, improve ventilation, and charge the battery. If the issue remains unresolved, contact an authorized service agent.

Question 6

Water inside or under the refrigerator.

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Water drain channel is blocked, or stored food is obstructing the water flow to the collector.. Clean the water drain using the cleaning tool provided and rearrange food items so they do not touch the rear wall.

Question 7

Unusual noises such as loud humming.

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: A component of the cooling circuit cannot swing freely because it touches the wall, or a foreign object is jammed between the cooling unit and the wall.. Carefully bend the component away from the wall or remove the foreign object.
