Question

Hi Tom I am having trouble with the fridge it worlks on gas and on mains but not 12v I have had it looked at the 30a fuse on the separatore di batterie has burnet out any sujections

Answer

You appreciate that the fridge will only work on 12 volts when the caravan is attached to a towing vehicle and receives power from that vehicle. Similarly with a motorhome the fridge will only work on 12 volts when the vehicle is moving. If the 30 amp fuse has blown then this could be an indication that the 12 volt heater in the fridge has failed. Replace the fuse and if it blows again you will need to replace the 12 volt heater in the fridge.
