Troubleshooting
Problem 1
Your box does not function and the fan wheel visible from outside is not
turning.
A: It is possible that the cigarette lighter in your vehicle is not receiving
any current. In most vehicles, the ignition has to be switched on for the
cigarette lighter to be supplied with current.
B: The ignition is switched on but the box is not functioning. Immediately
remove the plug from the socket and check the following:
I .Cigarette lighter mounting: If used frequently, this mounting can become
clogged with burnt tobacco(l). This results in a bad electrical contact. Clean
it using a non-metal brush and solvent until the middle contact pin looks
clean. If the plug of your cooler box gets very warm in the cigarette lighter
mounting, then either the mounting must be cleaned or the plug may not have
been correctly assembled(2).
2. Vehicle fuse: A fuse (normally 6A) is fitted for the cigarette lighter of
your vehicle. Check whether the fuse has perhaps burnt through.
Problem 2:
Your box does not cool satisfactorily and the outside fan wheel is not
turning. The fan motor is probably defective. Repair must only be carried out
by an authorized service dealer.
Problem 3:
Your box does not cool but the fan wheels are turning. The peltier unit is
probably defective.
Repair must only be come out by an authorized service dealer.
