Cubby Box Cooler

I've tried different combinations in the search but come up with nothing, hence this post.

My cooler/fridge thingy in the front central console doesn't seem to get cold (or even very cool), is this normal? are there any checks I can run? anyone got any other observations about theirs? Geoff

Have you checked the fuse ?

I only ever use mine on long runs - it seems to take an hour or so before drinks are noticeably cooler

The light comes on, I assume that means I don't need to check the fuse - or do I?

It just doesn't get cold, I don't expect it to be freezing but it seems to me that its hardly cool even on long journeys. Geoff

don't be expecting miracles from this thing. Ive had them in the last 3 land rovers and they are pretty feeble. Unless on quite a long run, you will not likely notice anything and even after a long run, things will only be marginally cooler.

On saturday we had left a can and small bottle of water were in there during the day and they were quite warm when we got back to the car. On the trip back, after about an hour I drank the can, and while not freezing cold it was quite cold after that time. I had put it right at the front so it was where the cold air comes in. Current: RR L322 2010

The fridge on my 2018 AB is in a different league from the fridge in my 2014 AB. The newer one has two settings - with two lights it's fast freeze and it does seem to get the drinks icy cold quite quickly.

In the 2014 car, it was reasonably effective. 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

Mine is a 2013 so clearly not as good as later ones but the opinions seem mixed. I'm waiting for a thermometer so when I get it I can take some definitive readings rather than the subjective stuff which seems to blow hot and cold (and not so cold Rolling with laughter ) Geoff

My 2015 car has a fridge which keeps things acceptably cool. Trick might be to keep a bottle of water in it?
