Hi all, our thetford fridge in the caravan is beeping every couple of minutes and I'm not sure what's wrong. We've tried disconnecting the battery for 20 mins, lighting it on gas...... It works but still beeps. It's running on electric hook up at minute...... Working but still beeping. Can anyone shed any light?? It's driving me crackers. If there's no ideas as to what it could be then it looks like a warranty job :0(
Thanks in advance

Hi
You've probably checked this already, but are you sure it's the fridge and not the alarm (which could be situated somewhere near to the fridge) beeping every couple of minutes showing that the alarm battery is low on charge?

Change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, nothing else I'm aware of in the Adria to make a beep and I've done a fair bit of dismantling and improvements to our 542 DT

When a similar thing happened to me it was my alarm clock in the nearby drawer! I also have one of those mini weather station gadgets and that has a low temp alarm that goes off at about 5C to remind me to think about what I am going to do with the aquaroll if it looks like freezing.

Try turning the thermostat to 0 and then back up
To the temp you want.
Apparently they can beep, usually when a safety cut kicks in if the fridge is operating in a room of 110 degrees F. Follow the above to reset it. It may be your fridge is faulty as I can't imagine you heated you van to this temp ?
