Hi Barry,
Sounds like the internal power supply board is cactus.
Same thing occurred with
mine but I know what happened.
The 12 volt lead got shorted (squashed) and even though the fuses blew, the 12 volt portion on the power board was fried. Still ran OK on 240 volts.
The Engel technician advised as my fridge was the same as the current model, (except for the non digital display) he recommended the $400 cost of replacing the board was a viable solution, as apposed to $1200 or so for a new fridge.
