Mine has two glass fuses on the fridge's circuit board. A 3 amp for the 12v stuff and a 5 amp for the 120v element.
However, first check that the fridge has 120v where you plug it into a receptacle. That receptacle might be dead from a popped circuit breaker or from being on a GFCI circuit where the GFCI has popped.

Start with the basics.
Do you have 120VAC at the Outlet fridge plugs into
YES...
Then remove cover on the lower circuit board and check the GLASS fuse
That is the AC circuit Fuse
Got AC at/thru fuse (check it with voltmeter not just visual)
YES.....
Then check for AC at the 2 terminals where the Electric Element Leads plug onto the circuit board
Then do a continuity check thru the leads of the element
Blown Glass Fuse...bad element
Good fuse...no AC at element lead terminals on circuit board...BAD board
AC at terminals...no continuity thru element leads.bad element
