Need help. Reefer shuts off with no reason given.

Doesn't have to have a problem starting to be bad. Have owned a couple of hundred carriers and run into the same problem. Won't show a code, just interrupts the circuit.

 

I’m not a reefer expert, but from my experience it could be the display is going bad.

I have a X2 2100a that was working fine when I bought the trailer in March of this year.

Then I took it in Utility to have some work done, and when I picked it up and turned it on it was acting erratically.

When I turned it on sometimes it would go through the pre trip and start, and sometimes it would go through the pre trip and then the display would just go blank and reboot and do it over and over again.

Sometimes I would turn it on and I’d get nothing, no lights, like there was no power to the display.

I didn’t have any alarm codes stored either.

I checked the battery and it was good, all the connections and wiring seemed to be fine too.

I changed the toggle switch and it seemed to fix the problem for a couple days, and then it started doing it again.

After speaking to the Carrier parts person and him telling me the display does go bad and can shutdown your reefer, I came to the conclusion that I’m going to have take a chance and spend $1200 and buy a new display.

Either that or spend $300 -$400 dollars for the Carrier dealer to look at it and tell me it’s the display.

So I purchased and installed the new display myself with the new toggle switch I bought previously, and it’s been working great for the last five months.

 

In the future @reeferwrencher may be able to assist you

 

Glad you came back and told us you got it fixed and how.
