Thetford fridge keeps turning off

[HappyCamper]

I have a 2007 Swift challenger with a Thetford fridge that just keeps turning off? It may stay on for a few hours then it will just turn off completely with no light, no display, no interior light nothing, then all of a sudden it will turn back on again?
I can't get a fault code because it just becomes dead and I can't switch to battery or gas either because it's dead.
Has anyone else experienced this or know anything that maybe at fault?

Hi and welcome.

Can’t help much help, but wonder if the supply is consistent, perhaps an intermittent poor connection. Perhaps the fridge is fine.

Thetford fridges have a defrost programme built in and will shut down to allow it do that defrost.

A common fault with Thetford fridge is that the PC Board gets corroded causing all sorts of issues. New they are expensive, but cheaper than buying anew fridge however I have been told that there is a company that refurbishes the old PC board. I do not know their name but a Google may help.

One like this Buckman looks reasonable but I have no first hand knowledge.
