Hi Could some one please explain how these absorption fridges work in relation to the thermistor. Thetford N3185 On 240 v mine draws around 1.4 amps, so rated at 300 w this seems ok but it never seems to change or cut out.

Hi everyone I'm new and looking to tap into the wealth of knowledge most likely sitting out there from like minded people such as yourselves.
