marspec2003 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Just had a Samsung RF18 reefer installed in fiver. They did a nice job but I'm wanting to turn it off to wash the interior and let it dry before loading it. However, I cannot find an on/off switch. The owner's manual doesn't list one. I've unplugged it in the interim but am I missing something?? Chuck & LolaWVRetired USCG 2013 Ford F450/2013 Lifestyle 37RESL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarome Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Should have a dedicated breaker in your power distribution panel. Use as an on/off switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I just went to an online and went through the owners guide and looked at all of the controls listed but found no power switch. That would seem to mean that you must either unplug it or turn off the circuit breaker. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

marspec2003 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I guess they must figure that a residential refrigerator is never turned off. Don't want the beer to spoil.

bigjim Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I suspect it is part of the same stupid cheating the consumer trend that does not put oil drain plugs in lots of new power equipment like mowers and at least some small generators I know about so that you have to turn them completely upside down to drain the oil. I have become somewhat of a conspiracy theorist when it comes to business any more. After all they saved a lot by not installing a switch. Now that I have ranted I have to also wonder if it is not incorporated into the temperature control. The el cheapo dorm frigs' I know about and others can be turned all the way down to an off position and it is normally marked but who knows these days. The one I have now is that way. As for my rant I just today helped someone drain and change the oil in a fairly pricey push mower with a name brand I can't think of at the moment.

D&J Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Go to the temp control and turn it as high as it will go and I think you will see a off position.

lenp Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 My Samsung RF197 does not have an ON/OFF switch. I either unplug or flip the breaker.

DuffMan Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Why do you care about turning it off to wash the interior or to load it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marspec2003 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 It's not just to wash it. I am not a full timer so I empty the reefer when not travelling but leave the rig plugged in for the battery. It is not easy to get to the plug and it's not on a separate breaker. I haven't traced which circuit it's on but assume it's on the one the Norcold used. If that's the case I will use the breaker in the future.

bigjim Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Once you find it there may be a way for you to wire in an on/off switch in the cord that is more convienent to you. I have done that on my microwave using of course wireing and switching of proper size. Actually what I did was change out the outlet to an outlet that has a switch. Of course it was a "little" bit of trouble but has been well worth it to me. It must have been over 10-12 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
