When we first got our current trailer (used Arctic Fox 27T), it had some issues and went away after cleaning contacts and unplugging and plugging in some connectors. I have recently found out about a product called DeOxit that I might get to help with the connections.
Sometimes a cold solder joint will cause some issues also..
Once you start using Deoxit on the wiring in your RV, you will wonder how you got by without it. I build and work on electronics and have other Caig products like Deoxit Gold (a terminal protector) and Faderlube (used on sliding switches or controls). Deoxit D5 is sold at Guitar Center and also at Radio Shack, if you can find an existing one that is still open.
Good luck with the fridge, it sounds like an easy bug to fix.
