Fridge

We have a 2020 keystone outback. This is our 5th outing in it since we brought it home in June. It has 2 refrigerators and yesterday one of them quit working. We are plugged in to 50 amp with propane back up. It made no sounds no noises and the other one is doing fine. I plan on taking it to the dealership Wednesday when we get back. I’m just looking for thoughts.

    It would take only a few minutes to check a couple things and answer back
    Is there any lights on front of refer? No, means no DC.
    What setting is refer on? auto, or electric?
    switch to LP. What happens?

    Repeating myself but I'll give one more try........

    How cold are the overnight temps...ambient air temps?
    ***No tools required to use a heat lamp


    Does it have Panel Lights??
    Yes then it has DC Power
    NO then it NEEDS DC Power....no tools required to replace a blown fuse

    If you can smell ammonia near it, you'll need a new one.
    Any thing else should be repairable.
    Did you check the 120 volt supply ?

    Both are inside. Both are same size. Both run on electric or propane. Same brand. Night temps in low 40’s to high 30’s. Right one works perfect left one deader than a hammer.

    Are there any indicator lights on or blinking on the dead one?

    I can't imagine you have two Rv type absorption refrigerators; I've never seen an RV that did. Is one of them a small "dorm" refrigerator in the outdoor kitchen? Those are typically electric only and much simpler and cheaper than a 2 way or 3 way absorption refrigerator typically installed inside.
    Which refrigerator is not working?
