I just bought an 84 Pace Arrow which needed a little TLC . Was told everything worked. When we got it home and plugged in, the fridge would not work. I found a replacement and it was working when I picked it up. But when we installed it and plugged it in nothing. I have checked for bad fuses or no power , but everything checks out. Any help would be appreciated . Thanks.

As mentioned, do you have a fully charged battery in the camper? Some appliances require a good battery even if plugged in to shore power.

¿Did you get and read the manual?

I believe that unit needs 12VDC for the controls even if it is running on AC power.

How long did you leave it hooked up? It will take about 12 hours or more to cool down.

There should be standard language that says the "Seller says that everything works, there are no leaks, etc..." If it's found out that the seller was wrong, the seller is liable for half the cost.

If the seller doesn't sign that, renegotiate the selling price to accept "As is.."
