Quick Frig Question.

I have a Grey Wolf 19rr, 2918 with a Norcold frig. It was running on propane, but it kicked off. Does it also run on the DC batteries? The manual is not very specific. Thanks.

Your frig needs 12V DC to run regardless if its on propane or shore power.

To clarify.

The control board that operates the fridge runs on 12VDC, however the cooling portion of the fridge requires either propane or shore power 120VAC to cool. There some 3 way fridges that will cool on 12VDC, but in 12VDC mode they do not cool well and will kill a battery quickly.
