- For proper performance, Thetford Absorption refrigerators require vents on the outside of the vehicle. Thetford vents are available in different colours and sizes to best suit your vehicle, please see accessories list above and Installation Guide below.
- Absorption 3-way refrigerators need to be installed and certified by a qualified and licensed gas-fitter, as improperly or illegally installed products will void the manufacturer’s warranty and could pose a safety risk.
- While 3-way absorption fridges have the ability to run off 3 different power sources (12V / 240V / Gas), they are primarily designed with gas operation in mind; they provide exceptional efficiency when running on gas. However for 12 Volt operation, this is only recommended with absorption fridges when the vehicle is running, otherwise, it can exhaust your 12-volt power source (battery) very quickly.

Q & A
-
What can I do when I have ice on the fins in my refrigerator?
First make sure that the door is closed properly. Then make sure the products are cooled before putting them in the refrigerator, limit door open when using. If this does not solve your issue, please contact your dealer or Thetford Service Centre.
-
Why doesn't my refrigerator switch to another energy source? (e-version)
Your refrigerator must be manually operated, unfortunately it does not have an automatic function.
-
Why doesn't my refrigerator perform on 240V?
It is possible that the incoming voltage is too low, which prevents the refrigerator from performing optimally. Please check if the incoming voltage is not too low on the 240V connection of the refrigerator. If this does not solve your issue, please contact your dealer or Thetford Service Centre.
-
What does the warning code mean on my refrigerator (automatic version)?
It is possible that the incoming voltage is too low, which prevents the refrigerator from performing optimally. Please check if the incoming voltage is not too low on the 230V connection of the refrigerator. If this does not solve your issue, please contact your dealer or Thetford Service Centre.
-
Why doesn't my refrigerator work on 12V when the car engine is not running?
On the 12 Volt mode the refrigerator needs a constantly supply of 12 Volt. That 12 Volt is coming from the car alternator when it's running.
-
What does it mean when my control panel is flashing (electric version)?
The flashing control panel indicates a warning code. This indicates something is not okay with your refrigerator, with attached description you are able to recognize the warning code. For further information, please contact your dealer or Thetford Service Center.
-
Why doesn't my refrigerator always work when I use solar panels?
The 12 Volt supply could be too high due to the usage of solar panels. Your refrigerator has a built-in safety measurement for this, we advise you to check this with your dealer or Thetford Service Centre. Please check the warning code and contact you dealer or Thetford Service Centre.
-
Why isn't my refrigerator working on gas?
This is the following thing what you must do: Check if the gas bottle is not empty, also check if the valve of the gas bottle and all shut-off valves are open. Then switch the refrigerator off and on again. If none of this is the case, please contact your dealer or Thetford Service Centre.

What do I need to know about installing an absorption gas fridge in my Caravan?
To ensure the correct fittings and ventilation set-up for the specific absorption fridge model, please see the link to the INSTALLATION GUIDE/MANUAL in the Product Description.
A 3-Way absorption refrigerator requires to be installed and certified by a qualified and licensed gasfitter. Illegal or improperly installed absorption fridge will void the manufacturer�s warranty and could pose a safety risk.
-
I want to run my absorption on 12v power source, is this ok?
An absorption 3-way fridge is designed to be run on gas as a power source. This means that gas will be the most efficient power source.
It is only recommended to use the 12-volt setting on an absorption fridge when the vehicle is running. Otherwise, the 12-volt can exhaust the power source (the battery) very fast. It is important to remember this when you have parked and turned off your vehicle!
-
I’m looking for a Caravan Fridge: would you recommend an absorption (gas) fridge, or a compressor (12v) fridge?
This depends on what you expect of your trip and what is important for you.
Choose an absorption fridge if:
- You are free camping for extended periods.
- You want a fridge to run from your gas bottle.
Free campers often choose a 3-way model so that they do not have to worry about enough battery power during their prolonged trips away. However, remember that they are not designed to be running on 12V for an extended period, it is only for while the vehicle is running.
Choose a compressor fridge if:
- You prefer consistent cooling capacity on your fridge.
- You require a fridge with high efficiency on battery power.
- You will require an efficient cooling capacity in hot climate.
The leading brand within compressor fridges are Dometic Waeco, Bushman, Evakool and Engel. All these brands are high quality RV fridges that can provide a desired temperature quickly.
We have found that compressor fridges are becoming more trendier compare to the absorption fridge. Many of our customers choose to replace their old 3-way absorption fridge to a new 12V compressor fridge. With today�s improvements in solar and battery performance, you can run your 12V compressor fridge very efficiently and will keep your food & drinks very cool.
