Maintaining Fridge Controls for Longevity

Regularly inspecting your fridge's controls isn't just smart-it's essential for dedicated caravanners.

Cleaning is also crucial. A quick wipe can prevent grime buildup, which can cause malfunctions. Keeping those controls clean will ensure your fridge serves you well through every season.

Troubleshooting Common Issues with Fridge Controls

Running into issues? Stay calm. Most control problems in caravan fridges are common and fixable with a bit of DIY work. If your fridge is too cold, examine the Thermostat/Thermocouple. If it's too warm, check the igniter. Remember, a composed caravanner is an effective problem solver.
