Bona Solar Freezer Not Turning On? Here’s What You Should Do

Your Bona Solar Freezer is meant to keep things cool and fresh using clean solar energy. But what happens when it refuses to turn on completely? This is a common problem, especially in solar-powered setups, and the good news is—it’s usually easy to fix.

Below, we’ll walk you through why your Bona solar freezer might not turn on and how to solve each issue step by step.

1. Dead or Low Battery

Problem:
If your battery voltage drops too low (below 11V), the freezer won't get enough power to start.

Solution:

Test the battery voltage with a multimeter
If it reads below 11V, try recharging it with solar panels or an external charger
If the battery doesn't hold charge, consider replacing it with a compatible deep-cycle battery

2. Blown Fuse

Problem:
A power surge or short circuit can blow the internal fuse, cutting power to the freezer.

Solution:

Locate and inspect the inline fuse (usually near the battery connection or controller)
Replace it with the same rating (e.g., 15A or 20A)
Always use quality wiring to prevent future blowouts

3. Solar Panel Not Supplying Power

Problem:
If your panel isn’t delivering power, the battery may never get enough charge to turn the freezer on.

Solution:

Make sure the solar panel is clean and positioned in full sunlight (between 10 AM–4 PM)
Check all wiring from the panel to the charge controller
Use a multimeter to confirm solar panel output (should be 18–22V in sunlight)

4. Faulty Charge Controller

Problem:
The charge controller manages power flow from panel to battery. If it fails, your battery won’t charge properly.

Solution:

Inspect the controller display or LED indicators
Reset it by disconnecting and reconnecting power
Replace if damaged or not functioning correctly

5. Loose or Corroded Connections

Problem:
Even a slightly loose wire or rusted terminal can interrupt power flow.

Solution:

Inspect all terminals (solar panel, battery, controller, and freezer)
Clean and tighten every connection
Use anti-corrosion gel for longer-lasting contacts

6. Freezer's Internal Circuit Failure

Problem:
If all power sources are intact, the issue could be with the freezer's internal PCB or compressor circuit.

Solution:

Listen for any hum or click when attempting to power on
If completely silent, contact a technician or the seller (like Ighomall.com) for internal repairs or warranty service

Quick Troubleshooting Checklist

Battery is fully charged and tested
Solar panel is clean and facing direct sunlight
Fuse is intact and not blown
All cables are tight and corrosion-free
Charge controller is functioning normally
Freezer is plugged in correctly

Final Advice

Your Bona Solar Freezer is built to last, but regular checks on the solar system, wiring, and battery health will go a long way in preventing this kind of problem. Always install your system with care and consult a technician if you’re unsure about wiring or system compatibility.
