Hi, I just bought a 99 Featherlite 3h LQ. Everything works great except the frig on elec. Works on propane tho. Any troubleshooting suggestions? I know they usually have some gremlins, just not familier with them.. Thanks!

I had the same problem with my fridge. (worked on propane but not on electric) I removed the vent cover from the outside of the trailer and discovered that a dilly (highly specific technical term) was unplugged at the bottom area. There were four tiny plastic dillies and one was unplugged. Re-plugged it, replaced vent cover and waalaa..fridge worked.

If it works on propane, the cooling system is good. The electric is a source for an electric heater, so if it isn't working, it's not a fault of the cooling system. I would look for a tripped breaker, an incorrectly set dial, or loose dofitchy where the wires plug into the fridge. Some owners' manuals have a trouble shooting section. If you don't have one, perhaps another forum member could scan and PM the applicable section to you. It's a relatively simple set up, and shouldn't be too difficult to trouble shoot.

I have the SAME problem. Fridge works great on propane but not on electric. It's plugged in, plug works (checked it) but doesn't cool the fridge after 1.5 hrs. A fan does come on for some reason though. I checked the fuse and it's okay too. There is some loose blue wire outside (under the cover) not sure what that's all about. Almost looks like speaker wire and I'mthinking it doesn't belong to the fridge but maybe some of the sensors for the gray and waste tanks I don't have to the inside monitor.

I have to share this cause it worked for ours, We took it out and put it in back of our truck to bounce around for awhile, I guess it "Burped" it, and then it worked on electric. Propane lines we finally cleaned out to get it to work on propaine! It does take a long long time to cool and it has to be completely level.......... saved us buying a new one!

Hopefully it will be that easy....
