ncitro I think I have an answer! Another thread on this forum (small so I missed it) said that you must keep the battery disconnect switch in the “ON” position, even on shore power. When I opened the bay door and checked, sure enough my battery disconnect switch was in the “OFF” position. I plugged it back in and turned it to the “ON” position. Immediately the 12v fridge fired up and is churning like a champ! I hope this “simple” fix solves my problem!
What bothers me is no where in the manuals does it mention you have to keep the battery disconnect in the “ON” position. Even when I called GD, Furrion, and General RV support lines none one suggested that I check the position of the battery disconnect switch and make sure it in “ON”. I have owned a 40 ft diesel pusher, and Airstream and have never had to worry about a battery disconnect switch when on shore power. The difference is the auto shutoff circuitry of the Furrion 12v fridge - it must read adequate power FROM THE BATTERY at all times in order to operate properly - even on shore power.
I will continue to electronically monitor the fridge temp but so far so good! I will report back in a few weeks. Thanks for your input!
