refrigerator light won't stay on

refrigerator won't stay on,only if the coach is running,if we shut the camper off the frig light goes off.
  • Is it just the interior light that doesn't work, or the fridge as a whole?

    Could bed a bad house battery, as mentioned, if nothing 12V works. It could also be that the battery disconnect (commonly called a salesman's switch) is in the disconnected position, and simply turning it on will bring everything back. It would seem not to be the fuse for the fridge's 12V circuit in as much as it does work sometimes.

    Does other 12V items work

  • What does "wont stay on" mean? It won't come on at all, or it goes out after a specified period of time (as it should) ?
  • I suspect a switch problem. Exercise the the door switch and observe that the switch opens when you release pressure on it.
