N/A
The refrigerator isn't cooling and the compressor won't run at all.
Could be low battery voltage, the normal 1-minute start delay (not a fault), overheating from high ambient temperature, or a blown vehicle fuse.
Recharge the battery, wait the 1-minute start delay out, switch the fridge off for an hour while venting the vehicle and using day mode, or check the fuse and replace it with a 15A one.

Check whether the blown fuse is a standard or a mini blade fuse (mini ones are roughly half the size), then choose the matching kit:

The handbook says to replace the blown fuse with a 15A one but not which size of blade fuse it is. Both kits include 15A fuses.

N/A
Refrigerator has insufficient cooling
Could be overheating from a high ambient temperature, ventilation openings blocked in whole or part, the door not properly closed, or more than 3mm of ice built up on the evaporator.
Switch the fridge off for an hour, ventilate the vehicle and use day mode; clear any blockage; close the door properly and check its seal is sound; or defrost the evaporator and again check the door seal.
