Fridge making bald spot bigger

Thanks All,
And to the moderator I apologize for the new thread, and will focus on not repeating. The fridge is a RF18 HFEN , Samsung, and the inverter made by a Canadian co. WFCO, the model is WF5110H.
The main breaker panel has nothing marked fridge, just two 50amp main,bedrm,micro,kitchen GFI,living,vac.,AC, kit2, washer,water heater,dryer,converter and another AC. The kit2 label is hand written as is all the fuses,the rest are printed. Am I to assume the hand written are dealer and printed Manuf. As for the Pug it is visible through a small gap on side of fridge but the only way I could get to it is unbolt fridge mount brackets. I'm no expert on elec. but I'm decent and can read schematics, but with out one, as you all know it's a little harder. The inverter mentions nothing about charging,nor does it show or mention the power cord. The way it is mounted (front towards rear of fifth in pass through storage comp.) it is hard to read and the receptacle I mentioned is wedged against frame and inverter. Thanks again

I have no personal experience with a residential fridge in an RV, BUT....

The fridge has to be plugged in somewhere. There should be an outside vent panel behind the bottom of the fridge. Inside would be a residential plug and wall outlet. Unplug the thing.

Also, there is a breaker somewhere; you just have not found it.

Keep hunting.

Curlida - - Just guessing here. But I have a similar situation with a residential fridge. In my case the whole drivers side is one big full wall slide-out. I've noticed that with all power disconnected all of the AC outlets on the slide-out are powered up. I can run my coffee pot when boondocking. That implies that the batteries are powering the inverter that also feeds all of the AC outlets in the slide out. What I didn't check on and maybe you might is to see if there is a regular circuit breaker protecting the circuit on the fridge side. There has to be some sort of breaker somewhere, unless the inverter itself has the breaker.

Since the OP has decided to start another thread, I suggest reading his post from yesterday so we don't end up repeating it.

Sounds like you have an automatic transfer switch which is powering the refrigerator when you turn the inverter off. After turning the inverter off why not turn the refrigerator off inside of it self.

Yes, it is. OP first discussion

What kind of fridge?

Doesn't it have an ON/OFF button?

Can't you just unplug fridge power cord?

The fridge will continue to run with shore power hooked up. Your inverter may be a charger also, which explains its fan running. And it's unlikely there's a separate connection to the fridge from the inverter. I'm thinking that inverter powers everything, but without a schematic it's difficult to say.

Is there a breaker on the refer circuit? Please post the make/model of the fridge and the inverter.
