    It's a shame you threw away the small power supply the small 10uf 50v capacitor on the board is the problem that fixes the green flashing light and a fan not turning. I fix about fifteen of these fridges the same thing the same cap thanks for the vid

    Thank you! My mini fridge died. I tested the power supply and it was dead. I ordered the same power supply you used. My mini fridge was a little different that yours and it was a bit tricky to get the power supply to fit. But I got it in. And now my mini fridge works! I hope this power supply lasts a while.

    My on/off switch nearly melted . Board is burnt black beneath the switch . I looked at the board and it looked like there is a short from solder flux on it. Might try to get a switch from the electronics store 10 miles away.

    put a 3 pin noctua 80mm uln fan. used a 3 pin to 2 pin adapter and a 2 pin extension. soldered the 2 pin the the hardwired dc lines to the extensions corosponding lines and then hooked it all up and mounted it. 1300 of the quietest rpms

    I had a coca cola version with the same problem. I basically chopped out the crappy power supply and wired it directly to an external 12v power supply with an inline switch. Works like a champ again

    Hmmm, see my AstroAI 2.0 6L mini fridge won't do anything. No lights light up, no nothing. The power cord itself is good, but I'm not sure where to go from there to diagnose the issue..

    I have the opposite problem, my light stays green but my fan doesn’t spin.

    Okay i read thru all the comments, you don't have a picture of the wiring.

    I haven't had mine for a week and it magically stopped working. Cute but as a trucker I'll probably never be in the same city again to return it 😔
