Refrigerator for Cherokee 304 bunkhouse will not turn on

[SpecialK30]

I bought a Cherokee bunkhouse a few weeks ago and used it one weekend, had it off for the past two or three weeks and we're heading out today. I go out to try to turn on the fridge and it does not have any power whatsoever. It's a 10.7 12 volt fridge, I've checked fuses a check breakers I cannot find the problem. Is there anybody out there that can help?

Most fridges run on 120 and propane. I would think being a bunk house this would be your case. When you say no power does that include light inside of fridge If you are plugged into shore power and have no blown fuses or thrown breaker’s. I would make sure it’s plugged in. If not hooked up to shore power then check to see if battery is good, disconnect switch is in correct position.

Not totally correct! Was at a dealer 2 days ago and some of the new tt's are coming with 12 vdc compressor fridges not gas absorption types. You certainly would have to be diligent in seeing battery cutoff switch properly positioned and batteries are charging. Fuses are always a first check.

In 2-3 weeks even with refrigerator off, if battery power switch is left on, the propane detector could discharge your battery. Try charging battery with charger, see what happens. Test battery voltage at terminals and see if converter "wants" to charge it.

Moose, the OP stated that it's a 12v only fridge.

First question that I have is, are you plugged into shore power at home when trying to turn on the refrigerator? And has the camper been plugged in the last two or three weeks it has been sitting? If not and battery cutoff switch is left on, the battery will be run down from the parasitic draws in the camper. One other question, are any other 12 volt items in camper working?
