Troubleshooting guide
RV refrigerator is not cooling
Use this when an absorption or compressor refrigerator shows a stopped-cooling, high-temperature, no co, or similar cooling fault.
Use this atlas to identify likely meaning and prepare for service. Shut off power, LP gas, fuel, or water when a listed appliance condition involves flame, gas smell, exhaust, generator shutdown, high temperature, moving jacks/slides, refrigerant, 120 VAC, control boards, repeated ignition failure, or a persistent lockout. Call the appliance maker, RV dealer, or a qualified RV technician for repair.
Owner-safe checklist
- Move food if temperature is unsafe.
- Record brand, model, code, power source, outside temperature, and whether vents are blocked.
- Do not bypass recall, high-temperature, or cooling-unit safety devices.
