Both LED lights inside the refrigerator have stopped working. Anyone know what might be the issue with this Furrion 12v refrigerator FCR16DCASA-SS?
The outside LED lights are working and it seems to be cooling; however, not totally confident that it is. Hasn't been long enough to evaluate.
Currently 9:00pm; will check it in the AM to see what the temps are.
Both blade fuses were replaced 2 months ago and we are on our 3rd RV camping trip. First was for a week, second for a weekend, and this one for almost a week. Connected to power while not in use.

UPDATE1: 11:00pm The Furrion 12v refrigerator isn't cooling. Freezer side not keeping ice frozen. Will close it up and pull it out in the morning. Anyone know an easy way to get the refrigerator out of the cabinet? Has anyone taken the front wood work over the refrigerator out or put a kind of door there so it is easier to get to the fuse area?

UPDATE2: Got up this morning, LED lights inside the refrigerator are working; thought the refrigerator was working. WRONG, it is now 2:44pm and the inside lights are working but the refrigerator is not cooling.

Any advice will be appreciated.

So, after some digging, some how the battery disconnect was switched. Don't know when, don't know how. Once corrected, and a little charge time, Furrion is working properly.
 
Are you 100% sure that the battery disconnect is in the "use" position?

Sounds like it may just be running off solar, and not charging that battery enough to keep up.
 
[MENTION=50577]sctjn66[/MENTION], it looks like this is your first post, welcome aboard. Great to hear that you got the frig working again, could you please be a bit more specific about the steps you took? That could help others with similar issues. [MENTION=331]huntr70[/MENTION] may be on to something, when the disconnect is off (key can be removed), no shore power goes to the frig. How are your batteries?
 
Sorry for the delay... yes the disconnect had been switched and it was on solar only. When the battery finally died, there wasn't enough solar to keep the Furrion going. So, after figuring it out everything is back running like it is suppose to be. Now looking at some new disconnect switches and switch covers. Again sorry for the delay. Tom
 
Sounds to me like your refer is running directly off the battery just like mine

So when the battery disconnect was removed, they shore power (assuming you were on SP) wasn't charging your batteries and the refer can now last only so long

The solar may have been enough to keep up with basic 12v lights and may have even allowed the refer to light up, just not enough juice in the batteries to allow the unit to turn on and run

Now to check your batteries, depending on the type, draining them to zero can cause them to fail prematurely

Good luck
