121X Series Refrigerator troubles

What controls the 2 fans that blow on the cooling fins? Mine are not running and I can't get it in to CW service for at least another month. I have the fridge cooling fairly well now by placing 2 small 12 v fans blowing on the fins. This is only a temporary solution when it is a brand new camper.

Hi gwalter,

There should be a thermostatic switch near the fans that senses the temperature of the fins and when the fins are hot, and closes to supply 12V to the fans. Follow the wires to see if maybe the sensor has come loose and isn't near the fins.

Thanks Dan, that appears to be the problem. I disconnected the wires and jumped across and the fans started. It is cooling good now and I have a new switch coming in on Tues.
