    What do you mean by "put the points of the multimeter on"? If it it's a regular multimeter you have to disconnect the wires and put it in series to measure current. If it's a clamp DC meter, well then it's a clamp, not points. Or I'm behind...

    The voltage readings mean just that, there is voltage, and kWh is likely history, all that is not inconsistent with there being no current out currently. But you'll want to make sure there is indeed no current coming out, notwithstanding what...

    Some of the less-than-greatly-designed models out there have soldered in fuses, which is pretty bad, IMO. Being in the desert with a full fridge and a fuse on the motherboard blown does not sound great. Of course, they will tell you to put a...

    Your numbers seem inconsistent as in 18W (low) with 10A (quite a bit), but you describe the situation as there is nothing coming out of the controller. So I would check it and the downstream wiring / connections first, of course. Easy to check...

    Looks like you have the fridge on the load output of the controller. It's good to have the voltage control there, usually, but it is also more likely to be a problem than connecting directly to the battery. If the fridge draws a lot of...

    ^^ if the battery and fridge can be set physically close to each other, you could put the victron battery sense sensor in the fridge and it will record the temperature in there, together with the battery voltage etc so you can see better what is...

    ^ yep, the coils or the vents, same idea. But if either are plugged, it should not run better under AC than DC, though. ^^ you'd want to check the battery voltage under load, but 12.74V overnight with no load is excellent. That means a fully...

    Your controller setting voltages look ok. Was the fridge's compressor actually running (as in you can feel it, or hear it, not just trusting the LED) when the temperature inside was rising above the setpoint? Or was it off? If the former...
