 Circuit diagram
      Circuit diagram I drew, from a PCB (printed circuit board) of
      a cool box . 
       PCB has on the back the lettering "GB693B". 
       I scanned 
       my circuit diagram to PDF 
      format using landscape mode. 
       Here's also PDF  format,
      but be warned, sometimes my tiff to PDF macros scramble back
      to portrait so right side can be amputated (at least as shown
      by xpdf, but not amputated at last check 2016-06-06).
    Reason for this page:
      I suspect if cable that came with box is an original, there
      may have been a batch cable manufacturing fault. As I wrote
      previous owner re his mislaid 12V cable: 
        I'll be interested to test cable when it turns up. I
        believe it is mis wired, wrong polarity. I recall you said
        you had to switch between Hot & Cold each time you
        changed between 240V & 12V ? I've drawn the circuit
        diagram from the board, analysed it, tested it with reverse
        polarity, & seen the red Hot LED come on instead of
        Green Cool LED.
      Notes
      To unscrew lid of box, first remove sealing strip to
      reveal lots of screws, also remove hinges. Removing hinges
      alone is Not sufficient. Yes, sealing strip may be glued in
      & removing it will damage the seal, so do that as
      carefully as you can with a flat bladed screw driver,
      carefully levering up to preserve glue. On later
      re-installing strip, to allow for further later repairs,
      rather than using glue, better to use double sided stick
      tape.The 2 fans in box always rotate in one direction, cos of
      the bridge rectifiers.I assume the 2 thick blue wires are a thermal cut out,
      normaly shorted out to power the unit, & open if the 
      Peltier heat exchange element overheats.
        Plug for 12 Volt socket:
