First..
Verify that the 120V AC outlet that fridge plugs into is actually HOT (works...plug a lamp, a drill motor etc in and see if it works)
Good outlet...
Then remove cover on circuit board and check 3A fuse on circuit board right above where the 120V AC power cord plugs inti circuit board.
Test it not just look at it.
Blown fuse.replace and check AC operation
Blows again...then replace electric heater element.
