I turned off my refrigerator a few months ago as I was not using the boat. It worked fine. I recently turned it back on and it's not getting cold. I have power and I can hear the motor running.
Can it be repaired or do they have to be replaced?
If replaced, do you know where I can locate one?
Thanks in advance!

You might have a refrigerant leak? I’d start with seeing if you can get someone onboard that might be able to recharge it. If that’s not the issue, replacement might be needed.

Thanks

Several years ago after winter store my refrigerator came on but wasn't getting cold either. I tested the thermostat and found it to be faulty. Simple test determined it to be the problem. Believe all I did (manual suggested) was to cross both wires that connected the thermostat and closed the door. After an hour or so the refrigerator was cold. Changed the thermostat and all good now

That would be awesome. I'll try that.
Thanks!
