Noa Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 The fridge in my 1985 Sunrader used to work. AC/DC/propane. Now, when I switch to AC or DC, there's a loud ugly sound and it's not working. Any suggestions on what part to check/replace? And where to get parts? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Same noise(s) on propane? Can you post the make and model of the fridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I observed the sound on mine like this under these conditions. Turns out it was the low battery alarm from the inverter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maineah Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Does it work on propane? If it doesn't and sounds like someone with an upset stomach it's not a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super simple and it works however if you have a converter/charger that can't be turn off you will soon have a dead battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
