After a while of power being switched on, you should start to feel some heat
rising out of the grille between the cooker and the window.

If there is heat there, but no cold inside, it may be worthwile burping the
fridge by turning it upside down and leaving it like that for half an hour
or so. Most people find it easiest to unscrew the fridge from the van for
this. Added bonus: you can clean behind it.

Good luck,
Robin
