Use it on 110VAC with the thermostat turned full on and the selector switch
set to 110v.  If it gets cold, it works (note: it takes hours to cool off
the box and 20-30 minutes for cooling to begin at all).  If it doesn't get
cold, open up the lagging over the boiler/flue and see if the heater is
getting hot.  If the heater is hot and the fridge isn't working, no doubt
it's cooked.  If the heater isn't hot, find out why and try again and/or
try the same thing with 12v (but you'll need to supply 8 amps for quite
awhile to do it).
