Hi guys. I hope someone can help. There is no electricity on the fridge 120v outlet while plugged into shore. The same is true when generator is running. Voltmeter reads 0 volts. All circuit breakers are not tripped. GFI in passenger-side outlet in back room is reset. All outlets inside the coach are working. Microwave clock is on.
I don't think there is another GFI for the fridge anywhere. What feeds the outlet? Did it come straight from the breaker panel?
None of the breakers are tripped. I checked that Testing the GFI inside the coach turns off power to all outlets inside the coach.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure this will effect your problem, but on my coach, there is a 12 volt DC fuse for our Dometic refrigerator. My Dometic needs both 110 VAC and 12 VDC current to run. The lights on the frige "eyebrow" will not illuminate without 12 volts. The fuse for mine is located in the last bay on the passenger side. The same bay where my fuel filters are.

Augie,

On my '95, there are two separate breakers in the compartment housing the inverter/charger. They are fed thru the inverter and are meant for the microwave and fridge.

Is the dedicated circuit breaker in the wall mounted breaker box on and is there power at that breaker?

The control board in behind the refer has a black cover over it, I would remove the cover and look at the fuse as Larry said it needs 12volt to work on 110volt.
The board its self could have ran its course of life, look around the board and look for brown hot spots, the 12volt input is a area that goes in most time.
The board is $150 to $200.
Hope this helps
