House batteries charged but refrigerator is dead

I am boondocking at a Walmart in Michigan. The house batteries are fully charged after driving all day. The residential fridge seemed to be working fine, as always, but awhile ago I opened the door and no light, fridge was dead. I fired up the genny and fridge works fine. Checked inverter and light was on, indicating it was working. So the 110 is not getting from batteries/inverter to fridge. I looked in the battery compartment and saw two big fuses but decided not to mess with them. Does anyone know what I can do next, short of running the genny all night and until I get to Camping World?
I have a 2016 Georgetown 329 with LG fridge.

Shut down inverter and restart perhaps? Make sure 120 Volt breaker is not tripped if there is one between inverter and fridge.

Press any reset buttons you can find.

There is a reset button on the inverter itself or it could be the small transfer switch between the inverter and the fridges' plug.

TitanMike that did it. Finally found inverter in water pump compartment. Pushed reset button and fridge lit up. Who would have thought the inverter would be next to water pump and water heater?
