2018 Salem 27rei wire problems

So the dearship told me that my residential refrigerator will run 6 hours off the batteries. Then I noticed that when I would disconnect shore power the refrigerator would turn off. I checked the outlet and it went dead but the one at the tv and the counter by the stove were hot. I tried to fix it but was unsuccessful. I called a local dealership to get it fixed and they said that this was a common thing on the Salem’s. Anyone else have this problem if so did you fix it yourself and if you did what did you do to fix it? Can not get it to the dealership for 2 weeks and would like to fix ASAP due to a planned trip.

Sounds like the fridge receptacle isn't wired to the inverter, and it should be.
If it's as common as the dealer said it was, I'd call and see if I could talk to a tech and ask them what it commonly is. You may be able to fix it your self.

Since the ones at the tv and stove work off the inverter you could temporarily run an extension cord from the counter to the fridge to get you through this camping trip.
