It is silent until the little cooling fan on the rear comes on, which varies. I taken an hour or two on ours if it is very cool out, and we have doors open. Also try lighting the fridge again (gas) in the late evening, after the sun goes down, and you can see the flame in the flame port more clearly. Sometimes pumping a little more air after it is lit will help move the exhaust up and out, just watch the flame, and pump more or less based on flame size, intensity. Our 12v doesn't seem to work either. But the gas and 120v will both make ice in a hot van. G. Matthew Bulley Bulley-Hewlett & Associates www.bulley-hewlett.com Cary, NC USA 888.468.4880 tollfree

No luck on AC/DC or propane. The two fuses behind the drivers seat are OK. Tried plugging in the fridge directly into extension cord to isolate problems further. Still, no luck. Anybody have any ideas? Does this fridge make any sound, vibration or other indication it's working, beyond getting cold? The one good thing is that at least my stove elements work! Cheers!
