Exclamation Fridge Not Working

ok, had the recall done a couple weeks ago. We bought this 2004 salem tt about a month ago. Prev. owner said sometimes he had to pull the fuse out (inside tt) and reinsert it for the fridge to work. Anyway prior to the recall work being done, I thought the fridge was working. The little auto light came on and it seemed to be getting cold. Just tried turning it on today while plugged in and nothing. No indicator lights working. The light inside the fridge comes on when I open the door and i have power at the plug outside. Checked the fuse inside the tt it was good, do i need to check a fuse outside at the back of the fridge? Or can there be something else? I don't smell any ammonia or see any leaking.

I broke out and bumped this post to its own thread. It was buried where it was and would have never gotten answered.

If the auto light is on; you have good DC (required even if using the AC shore power).

Does it cool using propane? If so it is an AC only issue and there is a 2 amp inline fuse you can check.

Thanks for moving this and your response. Had my son look at it, he works with circuit boards. The power source for the safety recall shut down thing (sorry not very technical ) was not plugged in to a power source on the board. He moved it over and it worked! He did discover that one of the metal fuse holder brackets had broken so it would turn off and on as he moved it. He thought maybe we should sodder (sp?) the fuse on to secure it. He said if you need to change it, it could be tricky. Otherwise I think we need to buy a new circuit board. We haven't tried it on propane yet, will do so this weekend.
