Anyone know the technical details of these dual voltage fridges?

I have the small DE-451 model (TEK II).

If I am on DC, it doesn't run. I hear a click, then nothing.

If I plug in and use AC, it runs normally.

After running on AC, if I only use DC, it runs normally.

A few days later it no longer runs on DC. Put on AC -- runs, then DC runs. Been there 3 times now.

I was just going to buy a new one (thinking it was like a dorm fridge and cheap) and then looked at the prices. Ouch. Even a new power supply is $250 or so. And I'm not all that confident it is the power supply.

And intermittent problems are hell when you take them to the shop.
