Picked my van up from storage at the weekend and all is fine except that the fridge (Thetford N100 LCD) will not power up. I have cheched the supply voltage an all is fine. The LCD display is also showing no sign of life.  Any ideas ?

    Always worth checking the simple things. It should be plugged in to a mains socket somewhere so try another appliance in the socket and check the fuse in the plug. There should also be a 12 volt supply so check all fuses. Does it work on gas or do you need
    the panel illuminated to light on gas?

    The display usually works on a 12 volt supply (and without that, it won't work on any other supply) so I'd check that first - is your battery flat?

    I had a similar problem where fridge and alde system stopped working it was the "electronics" 5 amp fuse.

    We have e swift so maybe called something else on different manufacturers

    I have experienced a similar problem and it turned out to be the 12 volt supply fuse. If that fuse is ok would check try checking you have 240 volts to the incoming connections whatever that is, usally a 13 amp socket with fuse.Also check if you can your
    battery voltage to ensure onboard battery is ok. Good luck.
