Furrion 12-Volt Refrigerator Fuse Fix

[@aaronrain9077]

Thank you for this fantastic video. Followed your instructions and now my fridge is back up and running! This was not a fun job since I have a 2020 Wolfpup BHS and there's basically zero room to access the back of the fridge but I managed to get'er done. glad I won't have to do that again! I wish good fortune upon you good sir!

Hey there Brian- I don't typically comment on youtube videos, but I wanted to say: this one really saved my bacon. I'm a DIYer, but this is the first time I really had to deal with something potentially tricky with my travel trailer. This video helped me to understand what was going on, and the fix/solution actually improves the situation for future maintenance issues. THANK YOU! Extra note in case nobody else has mentioned it here: be sure to test the old fuse. Use a multimeter set to "ohms," and use the black and red probes to touch each side of the fuse at the same time. A good fuse will register close to "0" ohms of resistance. But if it's blown (like mine was), then your multimeter shouldn't notice any difference as when you're holding the probes separate, in space.

Thank you for the step by step fix. Very much appreciated

Great Video. I used a milk crate and a couple of blocks of 2x8 to keep the refer as close to its original height as possible so I could slide it right back in.

Thank you so much for posting this. I am doing the fuse mod now. There is a channel under my fan mount so, I don't even have to drill. 👍

I just purchased a 2020 wolf pup 16 FQ with this fridge. My light is on, but the compressor does not stay running. Could this be my problem?

Very well put together video I will subscribe

Thanks this helped us a lot!

Just purchased a 2022 GD Imagine XLS 23LDE. First trip out was yesterday, and furrion refrigerator already not working. I have checked all the “visible” fuses and everything is good. The next step is to pull out the fridge after I call the dealership and Grand Design and see what they can do for me. Only concern is my refrigerator light is working, just no compressor kicking in. Thoughts on that? Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. Purchased a new GD Imagine XLS 23MLE in Dec 21. Has a Furrion 12v fridge. Have not used the camper yet. Turned the fridge on last week to get ready to go camping and the fridge would not cool. The compressor would run for about 30 seconds and shut off. Just before the compressor would shut off the fridge interior light would start to flicker. After a minute the compressor would start again and then shut off. I left it on thinking maybe it would start working. Now the compressor does not start. The interior fridge light is on. When I turn the fridge on the interior light will faintly flicker three times. After 30 seconds or so the light will flicker three times again. Nothing runs. The dealer says he can't look at it for two weeks. I called GD service and they emailed Furrion, copied me. Needless to say, we are very frustrated here.

The EXACT thing has happened to me, bought a reflection GD 367BHS, with the side by side 12volt residential fridge, and lights come on but compressor doesn’t come on. How in the HELL are these dealers and grand design still selling these things? It is literally all over the internet this issue. Somebody is slacking man.

[@robertl9065]

For all you guys that posted with problems it is most definitely your fuse. Also check the wiring going to the fridge. I know Forest River cheaped out and ran 14 gauge wiring that is not recommended for that fridge. Might be why those fuses are popping in the first place.

[@sarahlynnhillman]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Excellent video, I just did the same thing. Question, do you notice a large temperature swing on your fridge? when sitting at my house (obviously no heater on since we are not in it) the temp ranges from 34-45 degrees in the fridge and -2 through 25 in the freezer. I purchased digital thermometers to give me 24 hour data. It may be the thermometers but that seems like a huge swing. When we camp with the heater, it stays a bit more consistent. I'm guessing the ambient temp in the trailer has a lot to do with it.

[@brianhalliday2384]

Once we fixed the fuse, the refrigerator worked extremely well. Temp swings were minimal. That refrigerator, with the exception of the fuse fiasco, ran for three months, non-stop on our annual winter in Florida trip. I would still prefer a gas absorption refrigerator, but must admit, this 12 volt fridge works well.

[@2009reezen]

@@brianhalliday2384 thanks for the feedback. I am used to leaving our fridge on all season long if not year round. I may shut it down when I winterize but so far so good. I noticed all the new Momentum toy hauler a have the norcold brand 12 volt. Mine is a 2022 with the Furion. Makes me wonder if they left Furion due to issues.

[@TheMinnow101]

@@2009reezen I think it has more to do with appliance availability. Whatever they can get their hands on is what goes into the new RV. As an aside, I’ve read the Dometic 12v are having issues too. Apparently there’s no field fix either and the entire fridge needs replacing.

[@2009reezen]

@@TheMinnow101 definitely puts it in a different perspective. Thanks for the feedback.

[@Northerncannabis]

Same problem. Fridge not cooling. Lights work in the fridge. Compressor makes a clicking sound every 2-3 minutes. But doesn’t cool. Company has already sent me a new compressor board snd issue didn’t fix. Anyone have any thoughts? I am getting 13v past the inline fuse. So I assume the fuse is good?

[@RobinHoodTexas]

We bought a Keystone Cougar about 3 months ago and the Furrion fridge has already gone out on us. I contacted Furrion and they stated they don't make replacement parts for the Furrion Fridge. I contacted Keystone and they acted like they didn't know this. Holiday World in Alvarado, TX said they can't even look at it for 3 months. People Furrion fridges are absolute trash!

[@danbaxley]

No, you are not having the same problem. Great instruction video, by the way. But Paulmarsh7009, this instruction video is a solution to a problem where there is No lights, plus the frig is not working. No lights mean a power interrupt -- in this case, the fuse blown at the 12 volt connect in the back of the frig. If you have lights, then your problem is different, and you need to look eslewhere.

[@kevinjean8075]

I just purchased a trailer in the same exact predicament. Have you had a fix yet?

[@Me-je2jv]

Why does furrion put the fuse in the back of the refrigerator, not too smart. Thank you for your video.

[@womenswrongs]

Where is the link to where I can buy you a beer.

[@bobstellmaker3816]

a video would have worked better than just pics

[@brianhalliday2384]

Thanks for the input, sure the video sucks, but I said it was a simple video. When your wife is screaming about all the salad stuff, meats and dairy that was in that fridge, you fix first, and worry about your buddies that will have the same problem second. One friend in particular bought a really nice Grand Design with a Furius (Furrion) 12 volt fridge. I just wanted to get him prepped for his eventual failure at a remote state park campground.

[@RobinHoodTexas]

@@brianhalliday2384 Friends don't let friends buy an RV with a Furrion fridge in it lol. Mine didn't even last 3 months. Come on Keystone stop putting this trash in your trailers. Great video. I decided to replace my Furrion because if it's already doing this at 3 months I don't want to risk my beer getting hot when I really need it.
