Still nothing. With battery turned to on position
We could only hope....
OK, I guess we have to get down to real basics. I am assuming it is an absorption RV fridge that runs on gas or 110V.
Have you tried this on 110V and gas? Regardless of the chosen power source, the fridge requires 12V to operate. On 110V the converter supplies the 12V when plugged in. No shore power, your batteries take over. (If they are switched on...)
Do your other 12V things work? The lights for example.
Is there an eyebrow panel at the top of the fridge? Do the lights function? Push poke the buttons, any change? Some have an "Auto" button. Set it there and the fridge will automatically determine if it is plugged in to shore power or if it has to default to propane.
Propane... Light the stove to make sure it is present. If it has a "Check" light, is it on? If so, shut the fridge off, wait a few seconds turn it back on.
Even more basic, lets not overlook anything obvious and simple.
Do you have a test meter and the knowledge to use it?
Open your fuse panel, see if one is marked Fridge and test the fuse. If not, test all fuses. Make sure they all have 12V going out.
Take the outside access panel off the fridge and check the fuse in the back. Usually one fuse, I have seen 2 in there. Easiest to just probe both ends of the fuse to make sure 12V is there.
Let us know on this and we can take it further until we figure it out.
