How do I turn the fridge on? Flagstaff MAC 228.

I looked in the manual and I can't find the compartment with the switch.

I'm not familiar with your unit, but it must be outside behind your fridge. There must be an access panel?

On most of the mini friges I've seen once they are plugged in they are on. You can check your breaker panel and see if your breakers are all on. Check the heat escape panel on the outside of your unit (if you have one) and make sure its plugged in.

I found the panel. Now I'm out of propane. I think I've got a good start to figuring it out.

Yellow arrow points to the cover to remove to access the fridge switches....
Turn the two small clips on each bottom corner and remove the cover
Green switch is for AC and used when connected to AC power such as at a campground, in the driveway or via a generator
Red switch is for 12 volt...my recommendation is to use that ONLY when being towed by a vehicle and make sure the tow vehicle is charging the battery in the trailer and DO NOT LEAVE it on when the TV is off or over a period of time it might drain the TV battery too.
To run on propane. Make sure propane is in the lines then turn the knob to the left of the switches to the high position, and press the auto lighter switch (red) above the knob.
It sometimes takes a few pushes to get the system to ignite. You can tell if it is on by looking at the bottom of the silver tube (stack) that is all the way over to the right inside the compartment. Hard to see the flame, especially in full sunlight.
The knob on top, above the AC and 12 volt switches is for setting the fridge temp.

The red arrow points to the hot water heater (if you have one).

In the future it would be helpful if you listed the year and make of your camper not just the model, most of us put it in our signature line.

Also it would be helpful with appliance issues if you posted the brand and model to faster assist you in your query

Guess I was busy typing while you were out looking....
