Beneteau 31 Bethel Island
Hello,

I have a 2001 Beneteau 311 that was always stored in Lake Tahoe. Very little use of shore power so it looks like the refrigerator has never been used as anything other than an ice box. The Frigomatic model Paris 35 appears to never have been run. The knob in the box is "frozen" and will not turn. I turn on the switch at the control panel but nothing happens. Maybe if the knob would turn it would call for cooling and start the compressor unit? Any ideas for getting the knob unfrozen or get this refrigerator working would be helpful. Thanks

Salestosails, did you find a solution to the fridge problem? I have the same issue with a thermostat that won't move on my Beneteau. The compressor appears to be working.
