    fridge not cooling

    Hey all. it's year 2 with our Reflection 337 and we are in an RV park in Kerrville, TX on a short spring trip. My fridge lights up and the buttons on the front door seem to be functioning but it's not cooling. No breaker has been tripped and no fuses have popped that I can tell so I'm not sure what is going on. Any ideas from the brain trust?
    Thanks.

    Was it cold when you left the house?

    Agreed, more information. Is this a residential, 12 volt or absorption fridge.

    If this is an absorption fridge and it has power, first thing is to check for loss of refrigerant. Open the back bottom on the outside of the rig, the look carefully at the cooling tubes for signs of leaking. If it has leaked you will see yellowish like marks where the loss occurred. You will need to replace to cooling tubes if that happened.

    Other issues could be bad thermistor or bad board.

    Check for loss of Ammonia and it may smell sulphery.

    Can’t help with the other style fridges.

    It's in the #1 slide out and there is no outside access (12 volt).

    Update: Am happy to report that I was given some really good technical advice from a service technician at a dealership in the Kerrville/Boerne, TX area today and have successfully gotten the fridge working again. Here is the protocol I was given regarding how a Furrion 12 volt fridge sometimes will sometimes detect a low voltage issue and shuts off the compressor.
    1. Turn the fridge off.
    2. Remove shore power plug.
    3. Unhook battery terminals.
    4. Wait 2 minutes and plug shore power in.
    5. Reinstall battery cables.
    6. Turn on fridge and listen to hear the compressor running.
    If you can hear it running, your problem is solved.

    Thanks to all who asked questions, offered suggestions and provided advice. Your assistance is valued.

    I know this thread is a few months old, but I came across it last night. We were prepping our new to us 2022 265BH for our maiden voyage tomorrow and found the fridge not cooling. Neither the Furrion manual nor Transcend manual were any help, but the last post definitely was. Resolved our issue thankfully.
