Sound like the GFI plug has tripped, check if you have a wall outlet in the kitchen area or some time it will be on another outlet,you will need to push in the red button to reset it,
GFI is for household electric 120 volt plugs, not for anything running off the 12 volt batteries. - Dick_AExplorer
We had a 2000ish vision, it had 2 power cutoff switches in the cabinet above the main door, same place as the slide controls.
They were spring loaded momentary switches, hit them once power came on, hit them again no power.
Those switches control INTELLITEC SWITCHING RELAYS that control +12 volts from the batteries. - JimM68ExplorerWe had a 2000ish vision, it had 2 power cutoff switches in the cabinet above the main door, same place as the slide controls.

The leveler pump is run on 12 volts as is your slide motors. - bigred1cavExplorer

Sure would help if you put some info about what RV you have. And it's age. Surprised it's not in your signature.
Do you have a battery lead over to the slideout/leveler control that also loops to the refer that has blow a large fuse?
Would love to answer your questions but I have no idea what you are talking about. I have no electric ability.
The refer is gas or electric supposed to switch automatically when not running gen or on hookup.
2000 pace arrow 35ft vison - Mandalay_ParrExplorerI agree. The 12v is the common item.

- RayChezExplorerNot sure about the Refrigerator, but the levelers and the slides have a circuit breaker that if it trips they will not work. It is on most diesel pushers on the rear compartment passenger side. Reset it and the slides and levelers will work. It says HI-amp buss fuse on it.
- DutchmenSportExplorerSlide-outs, Refrigerator (RV style, not household style), and Levelers all depend on 12 volt (battery) for power. The refrigerator (RV style) electronic components are controlled by 12 volt DC battery (the cooling is done by electric or gas), not AC 120 household. So the thing all 3 have in common is 12 volt.
Sounds like a fuse that's blown, or perhaps a wire that feeds these 3 items got broken or shorted out.
That's the common element ... all are dependent upon 12 volt. - rgatijnet1Explorer IIIIt seems to be a 12 volt problem so you need to look to see if the 12 volt battery cut=off switch was thrown after your last trip. On some coaches they also have a large 12 volt fuse that can blow.
