I have a 12V only (no 110) fridge in my 2000 Grady 265 Express-



This season I turned the fridge on and it worked for a few minutes and then just beeped -


According a sticker on the inside door it will beep if cabin temp is above 110 degrees-



I am positive it is not even close to 110 degrees (i am in CT) so I am wondering if this sensor is bad -



Anyone ever replace this?

If there is a muffin fan there on the condenser, it might be dead, or it's trigger might be dead. When the compressor runs, so must the fan.

I don't think frig monitors cabin temp, the design of the unit allows to 110 deg F ambienet , otherwise it will overheat. Same goes if fan dies at any temp. ( I bet).

Be it just 12v, or combo 12 / 120vac, all the same.

I just bought a new fridge today - like I told my wife - I just can't justify the risk of having warm beer! ;)
