what kind refrigerator and inverter switch

I recently purchased a used 2021 Geo Pro by Rockwood. I have two questions: 1. how can I determine whether it has a 12v refrigerator or one of the other ones -- I cannot find a label on the refrigerator; and 2. The on/off switch for the inverter does not seem to work. The on/off switch is under the table bench (the bench furthest to the back), and the inverter is under the bench. This is my first time to use the forum. Thanks.

Have you looked at the refrigerator's control panel for clues? Or the sticker inside the refrigerator with the model number which you can enter into Google?

What is the model of the inverter? My factory inverter has an on/off switch which seems to do nothing. The unit is actually controlled at a remote panel where it can be turned on and off, and its status viewed. Your remote panel could be mounted anywhere...

Welcome to the forum, Ron - this is a great place to learn, grow your skills and socialize with a bunch of us codgers!

2021, the migration to 12v was in full swing. Do you have big metal fins inside your fridge? is there a switch that says anything related to "Gas/Electric/Auto"? If you said "YES" to EITHER of these questions, the answer is "you have a dual fuel/propane fridge." If you answered "NO" to BOTH questions (and your fridge looks, for the most part, just like a tiny home fridge), you have a 12v fridge. There are also RV's/trailers with full residential fridges. Likely, you don't have one of those in your Geo Pro.

I'mma hazard a guess yours is a 12v fridge

The on/off switch for the inverter is actually ON the inverter itself. The switch you see (on the table bench) is the REMOTE switch. Take a look at your owners manual for your inverter to be sure, but - LIKELY the power switch on the inverter itself needs to be set to OFF, and the remote switch (the one you can see) needs to be set to ON in order for the inverter to provide 120v power to select outlets (which, by 2021, are usually marked as "powered by inverter" or whatnot). I know this doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's one inverter setup.

If you download the WE/RV app for your phone, and plug in your trailer type, it will bring up a relatively comprehensive set of manuals for your Geo Pro.

Just my .02, I could be (and likely am) wrong. Hope this helps.

There is no label of any kind inside the fridge except one warning about radiation. On the outside is a white paper label with a bar code and WD-127FDC and ZD2011-0238. I have not taken the fridge out of its brackets and pulled it out from the wall. Based on what some other responses have said, I probably have a 12v. Thanks, appreciate your response.

Well, shoot, partner. You're one google away from an answer. The WD-127FDC is your fridge model number.... and this is a common problem.

You need not take the fridge out of its brackets, the metal fins would be INSIDE the fridge compartment. Based on your model number, you've got the Way Interglobal 4.5 cu ft 12v two-door fridge.

Again, if you do a google search for WD-127FDC you'll get all manner of responses.

Good luck!
