Refrigerator/ Outlet

2016 368RLBHK

I lost power to fridge and an outlet next to the fridge. I checked the circuit breaker and the fuses and everything is in working order. I can’t figure out why there is no power to the refrigerator or the outlet next to it. There was an overload which caused the overload, I had a toaster oven and an electric coffee maker on when the overload occurred. Any info on anything else I should check?

Thanks

Check the GFI in the bathroom or located elsewhere that may solve your problem. Let the forum know what you find hand how you correct it

Well I had to stop by dealer and inquired about my issue, I was told by the service department to check the inverter located in the front compartment for a fuse burnout, I checked the inverter and upon replacing the fuse it corrected the problem. I was informed that the inverter absorbed the overload which protected the residential refrigerator and the electrical outlet. I sure am thankful, this could have been a costly repair. I am thankful that I was provided with good advice that saved me from taking my rig in for service as I am a full time RV’er. Hope this Experience helps you all out there[emoji4]

I think you would have got quicker solutions, if you had told us it was a residential fridge, in your original post.
That would have indicated checking the inverter.

Most RVs don't have inverters, so solutions follow a different path.

I'm posting this suggestion, for those who may have the same issue in the future.
