This simple mistake could cost you your fridge, or worse, your entire car. In this video, I walk you through the 8 logical steps I use to troubleshoot and diagnose 12V electrical issues—a crucial skill for any 4x4 or camping enthusiast. Many people don't realise that not all 12V fridge cables are created equal. The root cause of my melted plug and lead was a cable that was NOT rated for my Dometic CFX3 95L Dual Zone fridge! I'll reveal the critical mistake I made—which many other owners of large fridges also make—by using an unrated Anderson plug lead. This nearly burned my car down! This video is your essential guide to not just fixing a DC socket, but understanding the vital lessons around American Wire Gauge (AWG) and why your large fridge needs a thicker, 12AWG cable, not the standard 14AWG or 16AWG found on many aftermarket and generic cables for smaller fridges. Save yourself the stress, cost, and potential danger of a catastrophic electrical failure. Learn how to DIY your 12V troubleshooting and repairs using my 8-step journey to get the Dometic 95L back up and running. 3 Main Lessons You'll Learn: 1. How to properly troubleshoot any 12V electrical gremlin in 8 simple steps. 2. The critical difference in wiring (AWG) for larger fridges (95L vs 75L models). 3. How to correctly replace a melted or damaged DC fridge socket.
