Do you mind telling potential helpers which company made your refrigerator and maybe a model number?

From previous I know you have a res fridge. When you say breaker are you speaking of the breaker labeled fridge/inverter? Have you reset it by turning completely off and then back on?

Go look at the inverter. Is there a green light? This indicates it sees shore power.

Did this just happen or are you returning and setting up?

It's the breaker in the breaker box labeled Frig. Yes I have turn breaker off and back on. Yes the inverter light is green. One thing have not done is unplug from outlet and plugged back in.

Are you just returning or has it just stopped working?

There is a fuse on the inverter to protect the AC out. I think it is on the back. Check that fuse. You should be able to get to it from the front basement.

Does the inverter have a gfci receptacle that you plug the refrigerator into. Have you reset it? What make model inverter? Can you plug something like a light or radio into the inverter to confirm that it is actually outputting power?

The fig is plugged into the outlet. I did not have my meter with me to check the outlet for voltage.

Thanks for all your inputs. The 5er is in storage and it's raining here in FL. I will go after the rain to do some more investigating that was recommended.

Well after much trouble shooting I have determined that the frig has gone to its grave. It's Harier 15 cu. ft. Any suggestions on a replacement with out breaking the bank. Oh by the way this model has been discontinued.

It maybe discontinued but parts should still be available . most likely it's a pc board since it seems power is off . i would do a search of model# and serial # for the pc power board

You are on your own.

Assuming it is the bottom freezer and both areas do not work I would assume controls. Not compressor.

There might be a glass fuse on the circuit board!

Getting to it should be possible.

Today, most refrigerators are much the same. Quality starts at big bucks! maybe 5X or more.

You said they were discontinued? Seems like you can get one. Google that model number. They can be purchased cheaper than BB prices….
