Power Problems

Hello everyone I am having problems with power on my 2018 327CKTS. The problem started a few days ago and involves my power inverter for my residential refrigerator. I am on shore power and the power goes off on the frig for no reason and I am confused. Eventually after a few minutes to a few hours it comes back on. The inverter is in the basement and it has been extremely hot for the last couple of weeks. Could it be temperature? And on the monitor screen in bedroom it shows I am using dc power. Thanks!!

Are you plugged into the correct amperage for your RV ? Is the pedestal breaker in the on position?

It may be that your refrigerator is drawing more power than the invert can supply and the inverter overheats and trips an overtemp safety cutout. Once it cools down the safety cutout resets and it begins supplying power again. If your unit worked well in cooler weather then it is probably just a heat related issue. It may be possible that you can add a cooling fan to the inverter or perhaps there is a fan and it isn't working or if there is a fan and it is working is it getting adequate outside air flow?
