Everchill 12 volt refrigerator

[Crazy Dachshund Lady]

he Freezer works in the Everchill, the temperature is set on 3 then after a while starts blinking. I have turned off the power, pulled the fuse, disconnected the battery then restarted everything. I reset the Freezer to cold. I cleared out the frost on the vents and around the freezer door. I now put tension brackets in the back of the refrigerator to keep food, etc. from touching the back wall. I press the set button in for 10 seconds, it goes through that diagnostic multiple buttons flashing stuff then the 3 light stays on. I comeback a few hours later and the #3 light is flashing. I need help.

Heres another currently running thread that may help. Good Luck DR

The video in that post skipped over the diverter valve that adjusts how much air is shared from freezer to refer. if that is closed the control will go into a default alarm. Try that. DR

Where is the diverter switch located. the video is sort of good but unless you know the terminology, it doesn't help I have had an RV for 24+ years and this is the first 12 volt and I hate it.

In mine it is a sliding lever in the freezer section. its marked min- max for both freezer and refer. set in in the middle and see if that fixes it. If your refer section gets too cold move the lever a notch or so to the refer min. Good luck DR

Thanks, I tried that. The vents keep frosting over and it is set just on cold. I don’t hear the fan running

I called Lippert After explaining in great detail about my EverChill 12V refrigerator problem, The problem may be as simple as the ground wire not tighten on the coach frame. This would cause a drop in power to the compressor and the freezer fan. A loose wire....go figure. The refrigerator would work intermittently. So I am making an appointment to have it looked at and tightened. This whole problem is starting to make sense now. It could also be sensor problems but this seems the most logical!!!! The person I talked to at Lippert is Dave....He was great!!

So... is this refrigerator something that worked fine before and this issue just started or has it never worked? A loose wire can cause issues but it may be something totally different.

You said the freezer works... if it was a loose wire for the compressor, the freezer would not get cold.
