Im hoping someone here can help.
As the topic says I have a Eurovan, it's a Canadian model which ran a fridge made by I believe Electrolux. It runs off either power from an Aux battery or when the van is plugged into a power source.

When I turn on the fridge I can hear the compressor turn on , run then shut off about 3 seconds later, there is a soft beep that follows. It repeats this step over and over again never really getting cool. It's almost as if the compressor is starting then turning off right away not to burn itself out.

Can anyone on here suggest a remedy or someone in Calgary who is familiar with this type of setup? I imagine you could find a similar setup in a boat or small RV.

thanks!

I'd take it to Hobo Camper Country on Edmonton Trail. I've always found them to be very helpful.
