  • Check power connections (AC or DC) to ensure they are secure.
  • Verify the power source is active and providing sufficient voltage.
  • If using DC, check your vehicle's battery voltage; low voltage protection might be activated.
• Insufficient Cooling:
  • Ensure the lids are properly closed and sealed.
  • Check if the temperature setting is appropriate for desired cooling/freezing.
  • Verify that ventilation openings are not blocked.
  • Avoid overloading the compartments, which can hinder air circulation.
• Unusual Noise:
  • A slight vibration or hum is normal during compressor operation.
  • Ensure the unit is on a stable, level surface to prevent rattling.
