My refrigerator keeps going to gas. I checked the fuse in the back and it was good. I'm plugged into shore and the "salesman switch" is on. I had the inverter off and nothing. Turned it on and nothing. what else should I try?

Thanks
Rico

The fuse behind the fridge was the first thing i check. All my breakers are good. I did not find another fuse in the fuse panel for the fridge. I will do the blow dryer check when if stops raining.

Thanks

First understand that your fridge has two operating modes:

1. LP Gas and 12V DC(for electronics).
2. 120V AC (shore power) and 12V DC(for electronics).

So assuming you're plugged into shore power and have a charged house battery it should run on electric. If not check for both sources of power at the fuse panel and breaker panel, and behind the fridge itself.

Salesman switch is 12 VDC. Nothing to do with your issues, since it works on propane.

Many 120 VAC outlets for refrigerators run through a GFI outlet. Check in bathroom, etc. to see if one is tripped.

Plug a 120 VAC light, hair dryer or other appliance into the refrigerator 120 VAC outlet and you will know if/when you have power there.
