A simple instructional video showing you how to jump start your Thetford N3000 series 185L fridge. For more information contact your local Thetford agent or RV dealer.
Thanks for the tip. This procedure is necessary to get my fridge to start on gas if it's been running on electricity for a day or so. It needs to be serviced. However, I discovered that a small 9v battery (smoke detector type) will kick start the solenoid valve just as well as a big 12v battery, and a lot easier too!
Hi great tip, what if this doesn’t work? Any other ideas? My fridge seems to think it’s working as there are no error codes on any source but it’s not cooling. Thanks
Magic! Just did this for the fridge in my brand new van. Saved me a warranty trip for a thirty second fix!
Why was a brand new fridge in a brand new van playing up? Pre delivery check not done?
Thank you! I managed to get my fridge going using my jump starter with this method! 😊
