Outside Refrigerator not working

Just got a new Grey Wolf 26DBH with outside kitchen. Took it out last weekend for the first time and the outside fridge didn't work. I'm hoping it is something stupid like I didn't turn it on. I just don't know where any controls for it are. Nothing on the inside and nothing I could find on the outside, however it is hard to see all of the outside of the fridge.

Did a search and didn't find anything but being new I may not have used the best search keywords.

Any help is appreciated.

There should be an on/off/temp control in the fridge. I assume you are trying to use it on shore power? If all that is correct, check the plug behind the fridge. I may not be plugged in. Note the fridge should be secured in place with some straps.

Yeah, using shore power. This fridge hasn't got a control at all inside. It may well be unplugged. I did look around behind the fridge from the access under the sink but couldn't see or feel it. It is strapped down. It would be easy enough to unstrap and remove it to solve the problem. Thanks for the fast reply.

Check for controls on the backside of unit. Mine had a knob backside, top right (as viewed from the front).

When I got my trailer from the dealer my outside kitchen bar fridge was not working either. First thing I checked was on off temp switch. Then the plug behind the fridge, "it wasn't plugged in from the factory.

One other thing to check: Some of these outside kitchen fridges are on a ground fault circuit which has the reset button on the receptacle where the fridge plugs in. Check to see if there is a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting) receptacle the fridge plugs into. IF there is, then attempt to push the "reset" button and maybe it will click as it resets. Another scenario: Some of these little fridges are on a shared circuit with the bathroom. There may be a GFCI in the bath that has tripped and is not feeding the electric circuit for the fridge. Good Luck
