Switches in bathroom and fridge not working

Wondering what the 2 switches on the wall by sink in my 1993 passport/ cobra are for? Rvs plugged into shore but cant get refridgerator to switch to elec.

  • One of the 110volt AC outlets may have a GFI reset button that needs to be pressed, hear it click.
  • Thank you so much. Im checking all that now. Im surprised at how much maintenance and knowledge is needed to live in an RV! I appreciate this forum.
  • Open the outside panel that allows you to view the rear of the fridge. Make sure its plugged in. There should be an outlet dedicated to the fridge.

    Some people unplug them because some older and state park campgrounds that insist on using GFI outlets for 20 amp service will constantly trip when some rv's plug into them. Those people will unplug the fridge and run it on gas 24/7.

    Do you have a bathroom fan in the roof vent ?
    how do you turn it on/off ? There is a small switch on the fan itself but some rv's also use a wall switch. Same goes for the bathroom light, some have two switches.

    It could also be a dump valve light switch if you have an outside light near the dump valve.
  • T.y. all..the fridge is original norcold that came with rv...well I do know where the water heater and pump and every other switch is.
    I looked everything over and there's also 2 switches as you walk in the front door.Just like the 2 n bathroom. Im wondering if any of these could control my fridge.
    I bought the rv for temp home..I know nothing about rvs...
  • Make /model/ type of fridge would help a bit. Is it original to the camper?
  • one could be hot water heater/DO NOT flip switch intill hot water tank is full. other switch?
