It's a 3-way fridge.

fuse 6 is hard to tell from the PO's writing "Power m" it looks like. Fuse 8 is the power jack which has never worked while shore power is plugged in but still works when 110 is disconnected.

I did replace the fuse with a new one at the fridge slot (20A).

thanks,

Does anyone have a good electrical system diagram for this model year?

It sounds to me like the converter section is not working, but the charging section is.

Hey Paul,

I’m thinking the same thing about the converter, that it’s probably going out. I flirted with swapping it out a few months ago as I have a brand new 60amp converter but abandoned that as I didn’t want to have to run new wires.

I’ve been doing a bit of research and think I’m going to settle on this unit from Progressive Dynamics as it’s a plug and play solution as it were:

If my fridge still doesn’t work, I’ll start replacing parts before I go down the rabbit hole of a fridge swap out.

Did you try running the fridge off a fused circuit that you know works (i.e., 1,2,3, or 5)?

That is a good suggestion.
Will try that and report back. The fridge doesn’t have a light fixture in it but at least I’ll be able to see if I’m getting juice to the 12v at the rear of the fridge.

Thanks,
