inverter
I don't know the type or size, it only powers the fridge. There is a switch on the control panel, but no breaker or fuse in the fuse box. There is a breaker for the fridge, the fridge works fine on shore power.

the inverter itself usually has a push button fuse reset on it

inverters are normally very close to the batteries. go to the battery and trace the battery cable for 3 or 4 feet and i'll bet you find the inverter. look at the ceiling of the battery compartment.

Some models have a small reset button on the back. Difficult to see (or feel). Was the problem on my neighbor's last year. One push and he was back in business.

Double check that your switched properly. If your inverter is wired like ours is the power button on the inverter has to be off for the on/off switch at the control panel to operate it. I believe ours has a blade fuse in the back for the 12volt side. There could well be an inline fuse between the inverter and the battery as well.

Measure the voltage in and make sure you have a good 12vdc. Measure the voltage at the outlets on the inverter to see if you have 110vac coming out. Inverters have a lot of fail safes (under voltage, over voltage etc). If the issue is not resolved the inverter will turn the output voltage off as a safety measure.
