Troubleshooting
Unit is not cooling or freezing.
Check that the power cord is securely connected to both the unit and the power source. Verify the power source is active (e.g., car ignition is on for 12V). Ensure the temperature setting is correct and not in standby mode. Check that the air vents are not blocked.
App not connecting to the fridge.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Make sure the fridge is powered on and within Bluetooth range. Try closing and reopening the app, or restarting your phone and the fridge.
Excessive condensation inside the unit.
Ensure the lid is closed properly and not left open for extended periods. Avoid placing warm items directly into the cold unit. Check that the ambient humidity is not extremely high.
Unit is making unusual noises.
Some operational noise from the compressor is normal. However, loud or rattling noises might indicate the unit is not level. Ensure it is placed on a stable, flat surface.
Battery protection light is on.
This indicates the unit is protecting your vehicle's battery from draining too low. Increase the voltage cutoff setting on the fridge (if adjustable) or ensure your vehicle's engine is running.
