VNL860 fridge operation

I believe there a click on the knob in the lowest setting, that should turn it off

 

no manual in the packet that comes with the truck?

 

online, w/ wake and model?

 

Don’t know what to tell ya. What I do is I keep a small digital thermometer in the middle of my fridge. My fridge also has one knob. I found the sweet spot which keeps my fridge at 39 and the freezer frozen. If that makes sense. This is on a 2016 model. Newer ones might have different operation.

 

All RV/mobile fridges are this way. The knob is for both fridge and freezer. Truck fridges aren't perfect. You've got to fine tune them a lot. I keep mine in my 860 on about 5 and it freezes things decent and keeps the food cold without freezing. Food stacked right up under the freezer will still start to freeze.

 

Takes 24 hours for a refrigerator to stabilize temperature, the top freezer compartment is going to get coldest first.

Normal operation on these refrigerators is usually around 5-6 to keep things from freezing in the bottom.

To turn the refrigerator off twist the knob the whole way to 0 and keep turning until you hear a click sound. (Off position)

Defrost once a month by turning off and leaving open with a old towel in the bottom overnight..... your temps will be more consistently stable

Keeping a RV digital thermometer in the bottom is highly recommended and set alert to 32F to prevent food damage while maintaining coldest temp for shelf life

 

I ran a 12v wire into the case of my camper fridge and put a small computer fan in it to distribute the air/temp. It worked like a champ. Not really enough room in a semi truck fridge but man it works great.

Another tip a friend told me about is to use a heat gun to do a quick defrost of your freezer or any place that's icing up. This is really helpful to us who have our fridges going 24/7 and don't want to clean them out to defrost. Pull food out, hit it with a heat gun and have a towel handy to clean up, put everything back in and cool it back down 5 minutes later.

Pro tip: Don't melt the walls of your plastic refrigerator, lol.
