Hi
Ian
Ok with model number we know that:
Element rating on 240v is 110Watts element rating on12V is 105Watts
So fridge should work just as
well on 12v as on240v ,IF IT IS CORRECTLY WIRED and receiving a minimum of 12V AT THE FRIDGE 12V TERMINAL BLOCK while switched to 12v & with the engine running @ fast idle
The fridge is thermostat controlled on 240v & gas
It is not thermostat controlled on 12V
THAT SHOULD BE THE FIRST
TEST.
For the gas you need to see the actual flame
The outer edge should be just reaching the tube [as a rough guide]
It should also be burning steady with a bluish tinge ,definitely not smokey or yellow
IF the gas flame is too large it can overheat the boiler& make cooling worse especially if the condenser gets very hot
This can lead to permanent damage to the system
If the flame is too small you may have a partially blocked jet , low gas pressure or a clogged line . since the same thermostat is used for both 240v & gas ,it is unlikely to be the problem
