Two 110v ac outlets for refrigerator

Yahoo Message Number: 70166
Our 2003 Magna has two 110v ac outlets for the Dometic NDR 1492 (evaporative ammonia type) side-by-side refrigerator/freezer. They are accessed by removing the refrig exterior panel/vent.
One outlet (left side behind refrig) is on the same circuit and breaker as all the other convenience outlets in the coach, and it's OK. The 2nd outlet (on the right/forward wall) is a mystery. For some reason it's dead now, and the 120v ac drawings and wirelist don't show a second outlet for the refrigerator/freezer. This outlet powers the ice maker part of the cooling unit.
I found that a junction box in the bay near the CB's is labeled "Freezer Option". Guessing that it's connected to my dead outlet, I checked it out and found that circuit is dead also.
If anyone has a clue as to what's what in this mystery, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Paul, all I can tell you is that on my 2002 the left outlet is for the fridge a/c heater. It is not wired with the other convenience outlets and does not go through the inverter. The foward outlet is for the ice maker and is wired through the inverter woth the other convenience outlets.

Paul,

The second outlet is for the ice maker and is wired to the inverter circuit. I have both the fridge and ice maker plugged in to the inverter outlet, that way my fridge runs on A/C at all times. I leave the inverter on, that's what it's designed to do. If dry camping for extended periods, I go back to propane.

Paul, just remembered: the fridge and the freezer are on a breaker in the main panel.

Thanks for your replies. I have egg on my face, or I'm losing my sight or something. The big circuit breaker panel in the bedroom has a clearly marked Refrig/Freezer label on one of the breakers. That circuit controls my "dead circuit" and it was OFF. Can't remember when I turned it off either. Yeessh!!

Paul, it is known as CRS, "can't remember stuff". My wife says I'm in a continuing state of CRS.
