I have a Tundra Freezer/fridge unit in my trawler. It has always worked well AC/DC.
I had an unfamiliar crew aboard last Saturday and the AC breaker for the entire boat was switched to off position.
Today I was making preps for fishing tomorrow and noticed a putrid smell. My bait (5 lbs of Cigar Minnows ) was thawed. Totally nasty!

When I am off the boat the only thing I leave on DC is the Refrigerator and the bilge pump.

I think the DC required voltage is too low so the fridge shutdown.

The boat is charging again and the AC power is getting the charger going.

Am I on the right track?

Any one else experience this?

I can't find a Fuse or CB on my Tundra. Model T80

Thoughts?

If I get the batteries charged back up to max shouldn't the fridge work?

Thanks.

Batteries on full charge and Fridge runs when AC is removed. Appears to be Low Voltage Cut out...
