What should I do if the refrigerator breaks down?

There is some advice if the fridge breaks down during the rental. 

 

The lights of the fridge do not light up at all:

The motorhome may have an electrical problem:
1/ Turn the refrigerator off and on again (it's just silly, but sometimes it's enough)
2/ Turn off the circuit breaker and wait for a few seconds.

3/ Check the condition of the fuse and change it if necessary. The fuse box is usually located behind the passenger seat or in the cargo compartment.

4/ Turn on the circuit breaker and turn on the refrigerator.

 

One light on the refrigerator is flashing red, or all lights are flashing at the same time:

To be used, The refrigerator may not detect the power source:

1/ Make sure the 12V light is on the console or that the gas bottle is open, or that the motorhome is connected to 220V
2/ Switch the refrigerator off and on again
3/ If the fridge is in "Automatic" mode, try to force the power source to be used by selecting it by hand (using the buttons on the fridge)

The flashing lights correspond to a warning code. For more information, please refer to the operating manual.

 

The refrigerator no longer runs on gas :

1/Ensure that the gas bottle is open and not empty (it seems logical, but you never know ;) ). To check this, light a gas stove fire.
2/ The gas pipe may contain air

 

The refrigerator no longer works on 12v (cell battery):

The refrigerator only works on 12V when the vehicle is running because it requires a continuous 12V supply.
1/ Make sure that the 12V indicator light on the console is on.
2/ Check the level of the cell battery.

 

The refrigerator no longer works on 220v :

1/ Make sure that the motorhome is appropriately connected to 220V. A light on the console will confirm if this is the case.
2/ Check that the supply voltage is not too low at the power supply connection.
