Gang,

My Fan cooled cold machine has been working. Fine for several months since I replaced the thermostat but now won't turn on.  The led indicator is on but not blinking.  It's just solid red.  Fuses are ok.  And I have plenty of power to the unit.  I can't find "solid red" or "on but not blinking" in any of the troubleshooting posts. 

Any ideas where to start?

From "101 Topics":

Refrigeration 101 - link to Richard Kollmann's website

There are a couple of other fridge topics in the 101 series.

Good luck.

PS - I didn't read them to see if they have your particular issue, but I do recall Kollmann having detailed explanations of the lights.

Thanks for the link. I read up on that a while back but I'm still scratching my head on this one.  Has anyone ever had the LED Indicator just stay on? 
Heading back to the boat this evening to see if I can figure anything out. 

Thanks!

Make sure that the LED terminals aren't reversed (+ & D), I believe that -- if they are -- the light will burn continuously.  The thermostat shouldn't affect the light, which is activated by the circuit board when the compressor comes on (low voltage or excessive amps.)
