The Euro fridges have a 240V element, the North America models have a 120V unit.  Your heating element is probably fried.  Last time I bought one at the local RV parts store it cost about $55.


Cheers, 


Jeff

The reason why I ask this is because while I was away, the guys wired my workshop to 240 and a lot of items got fried.  But I�m not sure about the van�s fridge because they use the same ones in Europe with 240 volts.  Only my fridge don�t seem to want to restart on 120.  
Anyone knows anything about this?
