If your refrigerator stops working, especially during the summer, you are in for a big problem. The key is to identify and fix the problem. RV fridges are subject to a variety of problems, and some of them are easy to fix. The following are the most common fixes.

Refrigerant and Propane Test

The camper fridge relies on both propane and refrigerant to function properly. When these levels drop, the refrigerator may malfunction or stop working altogether. As a first step, check the refrigerant/ammonia and propane levels.

Inspect electrical connections

Camper fridges not working can be caused by faulty power cords or inverters. The refrigerator may be having problems due to an overloaded electrical connection. The refrigerator will likely trip when this happens. The electrical connections are clearly to blame for this problem. For wiring problems, it’s often best to call a professional electrician.

Check for leaks or odors.

You should first check the refrigerator for leaks and odors that may indicate a leak. Refrigerant leaks or cooling systems can produce an ammonia odor. After that, we will have to check and replace any damaged or cracked door seals. Door gasket leaks can lead to serious problems, so we want to avoid them at all costs. We can replace the gaskets inside the fridge if leaks are discovered.

Reset the refrigerator

A simple malfunction could be the cause if none of these solutions work. You may be able to resolve the issue by resetting the refrigerator.

Test the sensors

Next, it is assumed that the thermistor or temperature sensors are faulty. By performing a quick test on them, we can determine if they are damaged. Multimeters or ohmmeters can be used to measure this. If the thermistor is not working properly, we can test it with the metre. Can be replaced quickly and cheaply if it doesn’t work.
