    If it's old it may just need replacing... but I once saw my dad turning ours upside down and it came back to life?!?!

    Could be a list of causes?
    Have you actually got it on the right setting?
    For example the correct power, gas/240/12 volt
    Perhaps in need of a re gas?
    Thermostat turned the right way?

    Remember it's perhaps touching 30 degs in there and the fridge may just be overpowered by the sheer heat.

    I'm not too sure. Turning it over sounds fun. Erm had it on generator power and on setting number 8. Freezer bit wouldn't freeze either. It is a 98 caravan I think

    it ll be down to heat in the van....... as Giv says...... if you can switch her off (if practical) and start her up after a defrost it might help.....
