[C320-list] Rocker switch

[jbrown5093 at yahoo.com]

first a disclaimer.  I'm no electrical wizard. But I think you can run some simple tests with a 12 volt test light or basic volt meter. From the on side of the frozen switch to ground  if it lights or 12 volts you're getting juice from the battery.  From the off terminal of the switch to ground if lights the switch is passing current and is just stuck closed.  If no light then the switch is bad and replace. If there is current through the switch the fridge should work unless there's is a disconnect downstream most likely at the connections at the compressor. Put the light or voltmeter from hot to ground at the compressor to verify that the unit is getting juice. If it is then there could be several reasons why the unit isn't working. There is a great article on trouble shooting the Alden barber unit on the 320 website if the unit is getting juice. If I have it all wrong somebody chime in please
