Temp Of Fridge - Talk To Me.

[TheWM]

Ok - so another topic I understand that is quite popular...

Got no gas yet, so put the beers in the fridge and put the ehu on last night. Whilst when I checked this morning they had chilled they were not cold. I understand that putting stuff in the fridge would lead to it taking longer to cool down, but how long should I expect the fridge to take to get to 'cold'.

And how will (should) it perform just being left on leisure batteries for two days?

Vis, on Thetford fridges I think if you pull the salad box out of the bottom it should have a sticker with the details behind or below where the box sits, model number etc

Ours is a Thetford N145. Only works on 12v when engine running. Auto select version that goes to gas/elec when engine shuts off. I'm finding it doesn't chill beers down as good as any Westy fridge I've had, but this fridge is huge so when full of food it's a lot to cool.

I have 4 freezer blocks, and rotate two at a time from the freezer to the fridge, I find that this helps massively even when on EHU.

There's never any room for freezer blocks in our fridge

Just out of interest I have just switched mine from AES to 12V, it immediately drew 16A from leisure battery with no key even in ignition let alone switched on

Not sure if this is right, a few things on our MH are 'odd' to say the least, but no wonder a fridge will kill a battery in no time

back in auto by the way, nobody panic

Hi David

That's right, ours is the same with manual selection to 12 volts it will run off whatever battery it is wired to and in our case it is the leisure. If you switch to AES it then engages it's brain and only runs off 12 volts with the engine running.
