Error Codes 

Solutions

• If this error code appears when the fridge is operating on 12V DC, please try to lower the battery protection setting and see if the error is resolved. The battery protection mode may be triggered prematurely on certain vehicles due to small wiring imperfections, contributing to a measured DC voltage drop at compressor start-up. Lowering the battery protection setting may resolve this issue.
• Please also care about the reading of your battery voltage to make sure it is not depleted/discharged.
• If possible, please connect the AC power to try if the refrigerator appears error code.
• Please contact us directly if the error persists

Troubleshooting

Heat resistance & water resistance

Heat resistance

ICECO refrigerators are engineered to operate at an ambient temperature of up to 55 °C(131 °F).

Weather Proof

ICECO refrigerators can operate under light rain conditions. Please keep the vents above clear of water, and please add some clearances to the bottom of the fridge if the ground is wet.  
We DO NOT recommend exposing the fridge to moderate or heavy rain.  
As with all electrical appliances, over-exposure to moisture may shorten the fridge’s life.

How long can the ICECO refrigerator keep the temperature after powering off?

The following data only represented the result of the lab experiment with an empty box. Everything is based on the actual situation.
Insulation Performance

Why did it change back to the original temperature after setting the temperature?

The Solid/Non-Flashing number on the display is the CURRENT interior temperature.  The Flashing number is your SET temperature after adjustment. The compressor will shut off when the SET temperature is reached. 

What should I do if the refrigerator is upside down when it is delivered?

Please leave your refrigerator upright for 24 hours to allow the compressor lubricant to resettle before powering on the fridge. Otherwise it may contribute to certain operation abnormalities.

What is the function of triple battery protection? How do they work?

The triple battery protection is designed to prevent over-discharge and battery depletion. When the measured DC voltage is below the set value, the compressor is shut off to prevent battery depletion.

For example, when you switch to a LOW MODE, the battery voltage is under 9.6 volts, the refrigerator will automatically cut the power OFF;

The refrigerator will start again till the battery voltage reaches back to 10.9 volts.

What is the power draw in max/ fast cooling mode?

This data is only suitable for laboratory testing, and the actual power is subject to actual conditions.

Why is there a temperature difference (between the actual temperature of the refrigerator and the set temperature)?

Because of the sinking nature of cold air, the different temperatures may exist in different locations in the refrigerator (the temperature of the bottom will be the lowest). The panel only shows the average temperature of the refrigerator.

What kind of cable do I need to use in the car and at home?

The DC cable is provided. You can power it from your vehicle's cigarette lighter plug using the DC cable. You can also power it at home, but you need to use with AC cable as precondition.

What is the specification of the fuse of the refrigerator?

The supply line is protected by a 15A fuse located in the refrigerator.
