TROUBLE SHOOTING
11.1 Status Messages
Only one error code is displayed at a time. If more than one error exists, the error with the lowest •
error number is shown.
Some errors are only detected at the power ON self-test; others are detected all the time and will •
be shown as soon as they occur. Therefore some error messages may not be reset until the refrig-
erator is turned “OFF and then back “ON”.

Check to make sure that the LP-gas supply tanks are not empty and all manual shutoff valves in the lines are open. If
the refrigerator has not been in used for a long time or if the LP tanks have been recently relled, air may be trapped
in the supply lines. To purge the air from the lines may require resetting the ON/OFF button several times.
[2]
Check the AC supply, fuses etc.
[3]
Check battery charge level (min 10.5 volts DC).
[4]
Refer to section 1, page 11 for setting of the clock.
[5]
Defrosting has been insufcient twice in a row (48 hours) either because of the DC voltage being too low, no cooling
source available or because of too much frost buildup. Check the battery charge level to overcome low DC voltage
situations. Check for the proper wire size as described in the table on page 14. Use the manual defrost function (see
page 11) to overcome excess of frost buildup.
[6]
The fan in the freezer has been blocked and is not circulating the air in the freezer compartment. Check the fan by
unscrewing the bottom part of the fan housing. Try to rotate and look for ice buildup or other parts that can interfere
with the rotation of the fan.
[8]
The compartment temperatures are warmer than 41° F in freezer and warmer than 59° F in fresh food compartment.
[7]
The temperature of the cooling plate in the freezer is above 95° F when you start a “drying” phase. It is shown for one
minute and then the refrigerator is turned off. This is a protection function against overheating if you try to start a “dry-
ing” phase just after a “drying” phase has been performed.
[9]
The compartment temperatures are less than -9° F in freezer and less than -9° F in the fresh food compartment.
Refer to section 11.2, page 34 for troubleshooting the error codes.
