I have had a Danby outdoor-rated fridge on my pool deck for several years with no issue. It sits in a recessed cavity in my cabinet. However, we had a strong wind-driven rain the other day that blew water into the cavity and undoubtedly got things wet, including the electrical section in the back.
I have a temp sensor in the fridge, and was alerted on my phone that the temperature inside the fridge was rising (after the storm passed). I went out to check. I opened the fridge and the light was on, but dimly, and quickly faded to dark.
I have had fans blowing on the electrical section, had the unit sitting in the sun, dried everything I can see, and the unit still blows whichever breaker it’s connected to.
Any ideas of what else I can try? It’s been 2-3 days since the storm and the fridge is still tripping breakers.
Thanks!
