Topic: Time for some more warranty work Posted: 19 Jul 2010 at 11:06pm |
This last week we were camping at the beach, and I noticed a clicking sound when we were laying there at night. It didn't happen all of the time and I didn't feel like getting out of bed to figure it out even though it was driving me nuts. Finally one day it started when I was standing in the middle of the 'pod. It was coming from the fridge control panel. Click-click, click-click. With my experience with electronics I knew it was the sound of a relay clicking on and off. I also could hear the cooling fans in the exterior compartment running. When the cooling fans turned off, the clicking went away. When they came on again, the clicking came back. Methinks its time for some more warranty work. |

Maybe you've just got a bug stuck in the cooling fan.
Don't ask how I know about this ...

It kept cool the whole time. I tried changing from "level 5" cooling to "level 4" but that didn't help. The fans didn't turn off when the clicking was occuring, so I'm assuming it was turning off the heater element.
From the inside it sounded like both fans were running normally, but I'll check the exterior compartment for bugs to be sure, thanks.
