7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on. | No power supply; faulty cable; power outlet issue. | Check power connections. Ensure the power outlet is functional. Try a different cable if available. |
| Cooling performance is poor. | Insufficient ventilation; excessive ambient temperature; door not sealed properly; overfilled. | Ensure proper ventilation around the unit. Avoid placing in direct sunlight. Check lid seal. Do not overfill. |
| Temperature display is inaccurate. | Temperature sensor issue. | If persistent, contact customer support for assistance. |
| Cigarette lighter plug disconnects easily. | Loose connection or strong spring in plug. | Ensure the plug is fully inserted. If the issue persists, consider securing the connection with electrical tape or using a different 12V socket if available. |
| Unit struggles to maintain temperature in vehicle. | Vehicle battery protection settings; low voltage from vehicle. | Check the refrigerator's battery protection setting (usually adjustable via app or control panel). Ensure your vehicle's 12V outlet provides stable power. Consider using a power station or a true sine wave inverter if available. |
