Help needed. I purchased a ClasC Forester in 2021. It had a Magic Chef 12volt refrigerator which went bad and after some time, Forest River, through the dealership, replaced the refrigerator with an Everchill 12 volt. The same problem has occurred. The freezer works but the refrigerator portion does not cool. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. I do keep the unit plugged in at home from March to early November because I use it 3 out of 4 weekends a month for dog events. This has been an ongoing problem which I have posted before and tried all the suggestions, less food, small fan, reset etc. After another failure by the refrigerator, I took the unit to a local RV place. The dealership is 2+ hours away. The problem was the control board. They ordered a new board from Lippert, it was installed. when the tech went back later to check on the refrigerator, it was not working. He called Lippert about the problem They said "these boards have a mind of their own" but sent a new board. The tech went out to move the RV and the fridge was working fine. I picked up the RV, used it a few times and same problem....freezer works but does not cool the refrigerator, lights flashing inside. I did call Forest River customer service. FR told me to take it back to the dealership at the end of the season. which I did in November. I have called and was told it is working fine...but this would be when it is empty. I told them to keep checking for the problem. This is the fourth control board I have gone through. I am so disgusted. Last year on a trip to our dachshund club national, it stopped working. not only did I lose the food, but I had to go buy a cooler.
Does anyone have anymore ideas? I see other people have had the same problem. What were your results? The RV is still at the dealership....I will call again next week. I did purchase a small dorm size refrigerator, but I want the 12 volt problem resolved. Thank you Diane
