So how deep is your knowledge of RV electrical systems? There are two, a 12V system and a 120V system. The 120V system won’t work if the RV cord isn’t plugged in to a 120V outlet; in which case the air conditioner, microwave, power outlets in the trailer, possibly the refrigerator (depending on how it’s configured), the converter, etc. all won’t work.
If the 12V system doesn’t have a charged 12V battery hooked up, the 12V system won’t work either (depending on the status of the 120V system). Hence, it is hard for us to help you because we don’t know how deep your knowledge is and what is functioning and what isn’t. One sentence that basically says “it doesn’t work” doesn’t cut it.
Is the RV plugged in?
Does the pedestal have power?
Is there a functioning battery installed?
The questions are endless, we need more info.
P.S. The fridge and AC (assuming you mean air conditioner) are 120V, their power sorurce will be protected by circuit breakers, not fuses.

With the new format of the forum, one needs to go back to the bottom of the posting and read all the replies. The OP already answered your questions and it appears that he may not have AC at the pedestal.

All three of us has asked about power. And I would respectfully disagree that the OP has answered the question(s).

I think the confusion comes in with this statement. The OP says the fridge is not getting power. Then they say they are going to try resetting the fridge. What does resetting the fridge mean? Is there an on off button they are going to flip? Are they going to pull the plug from the outlet and plug it back in? And the even big part that's causing the repeated questions is that obviously if there is no power to the refrigerator then resetting the refrigerator itself isn't going to do anything.
I think we're all giving the OP the benefit of the doubt and feel that they are aware that resetting the refrigerator will do nothing if there is no power at the wall, so they must mean something else.
@DonBry12OP, did you get it working again? If not can you answer a few questions that will help us help you get this resolved?

Is anything at all working? If not have you checked for power at the outlet you are plugged into?

Hi DonBry12 welcome to the forum. Your title says Power problem for fridge and AC. Are both your refrigerator and your air conditioner not working? Or are you saying the refrigerator is not working when you are plugged in to AC (shore power)
If both the AC and refrigerator are not working I would look into the breaker panel. Also try unplugging the refrigerator from wherever it's plugged in, and use a known good load like a lamp to plug into the same outlet and see if there is power.
Assuming you mean refrigerator only, what is the make and model of the refrigerator? I would look just inside the door for a sticker with hat information. When you say not working do any lights or LED's illuminate and it just doesn't get cold? Or do the lights work and it doesn't get cold?
Thanks and hopefully we can help yo figure it out.

Unless your RV is really old, the refrigerator is plugged into a wall outlet somewhere. How do you know that there is power at that outlet?
