    I would hope that most brands use the same plug, but I'm not certain. Thanks!!! )
    Solder and heat shrink?

    Post a pic of the plug youre looking for. I dont have the fridge but can point you in the right direction

    Some weeks back I responded to another user with this:

    Cut the cord off a couple inches from the plug, then solder a length of heavier-gauge wire w/cigarette lighter plug to it (squared side is positive, rounded side negative).

    However I eventually got sick of the plug getting broken off and changed out the socket on the fridge to a pigtail connection using this

    Seems i seen these "cheater cords" offered on Amazon.com as well. I'm not sure a version of the plug exists that you don't have to cut & splice onto it though, but it's possible there's something out there that I don't know of.

    I found a cord with the right plug! I took a chance and ordered a replacement 12v DC cord from TruckFridge.com. It was the correct cord and cost about $20 shipped. Our fridge/freezer is from IronMan4x4.com (works great, by the way). The Ironman4x4, TruckFridge, and EvaKool fridge/freezers use the same plug. They all have the Danfoss compresors and seem to have the same electronics and controls. 'Learn something new every day!

    Trying this section for some help on an edgestar fridge. I recently purchased an open box/scratch and dent fridge and when I received the fridge it didn't work. Don't worry about me, I called them and told them it wasn't working and they refunded me full and let me keep it. . .pretty cool.

    Well I figured out what was wrong with it (bunch of wires were pulled out of the back of the control display. Picture below. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the yellow wire thats not connected to anything is supposed to be installed? It had an "HH" display that means the ambient air temp is over 104 degrees (only 98 degrees outside today). Any help with this is appreciated!!

    As you can see the yellow wire that is looped through the zip tie at the top is not connected to anything. There are two slots near its location but they're labeled as "ground" on the sticker. These are coming from inside the fridge itself.

    Thats your temp sensor wire that is not connected. do you see another wire inside hanging that looks like it is disconnected?

    PM me for contact info and I can try to help you sort this...
