Fridge AC power issue

[Small Towner]

Could use some suggestions. Purchased a 2014 Flagstaff HW27KS pop up with a 3 way Dometic rm2354 fridge. Brought it home and it worked on dc and propane, but not AC when plugged in.

Went through the fuses and all were good, so purchased a new element. When the element came in I tried the old one a final time and the AC power worked fine? Plugged it in 2 days before our trip and cooled it down, unplugged and travelled to our campground, and now it wont kick on with AC power again (camper plugged into 30a shore) just propane and DC.

Possibly a ground issue somewhere? Looking for all suggestions and tips.

Thanks

If it's not working now...If you have the ability, check to see if you have 115 volts at the outlet where frig is plugged in. If not a meter, do you have anything to plug in to see if outlet is live ?

Could also be a broken electric element fuse link that temporarily reconnected itself.
There are two glass fuses on the control board if it's a dometic fridge. Replace the 5 amp one and see if that helps.

Thanks, I will try then when I get a replacement!

An update for those interested: Replaced the 5amp fuse and it kicked on AC when plugged in. Have another trip in a couple of weeks, so hopefully after the trip it works as it should.

Thanks

Thanks for coming back and letting us know what you found.
Hopefully it's just that fuse and it won't give you anymore problems.
