refrigerator fuse

June 27, 2020, 09:39:16 pm

I am trying to assist dsd with his coach, he is having trouble getting the refrigerator going--can't seem to get power to it
Question is there a 12v fuse in the back refrigerator  or somewhere else besides fuse box
Thanks
Chris

The breaker is one of the manual reset breakers that are hid behind the fiberglass panel in the basement.  I think it is the top one on the left hand set of breakers.

Yep, outside there's a panel that can actually be easily undone with your finger, unscrew that.

If (after you get power restored) that fuse blows, the fridge should continue to work on propane. Be sure to tighten the fuse, if not tight, it can blow again (mine did) & if installed tightly & blows again, then it's a bit more complicated to get further in & replace that canister, which could happen with age. This is on an original Norcold unit. (I don't know the size of the fuse since my mobile techs took care of it).

Found panel and open breaker. Could not reset. Put same size inline fuse and now have power at fridge. Runs on ac and gas. There was over a half tank of propane. Freezer is freezing since started last night (jumper cables)
Thanks everyone. Little bit closer and cold water.
