I just got a new motor home that has a Thetford fridge - 3 way N401.3
There is no indication:
1. If on 12 volts (old motor home a green light came on)
2. If on 240 volts (old motor home a red light came on)
2. If on gas with the old motor home the ignition orange light would go out when the flame was alight - if gas runs out you would hear the clicking as it trys to ignite (will wake you up at night when gas always runs out!) - this unit has a small gauge with a needle but no audible sound if there is a failure
If a fuse fails or any other problem you do not know the fridge is not running till everything gets hot!
Has anybody done any modifications to overcome these problems?
This should take you to a company called Retrevo which has the installation and user manuals for your model fridge.
Hope it works and you can download the manual.

Hi
Thanks but I have the manual
I am just disappointed there is not indication that the fridge is actually running on 240 v, 12 v or when the gas stops
I thought that someone may have installed some indicator lights to show if the fridge is on or off - for example if the power point was turned off or plug bumped out fuse blown etc, you would not know if the fridge was off
