New Camper-1st trip-now refrig doesn't come on

[MelissaO]

Help! Just purchased 2018 Jayco White Hawk 25FK and had a wonderful first camp but after parking back at home last night now refrigerator won't come on electric. Haven't tried it in gas yet - will tonight but any ideas? Looked in frig compartment and it's plugged in, didn't jiggle lose - other ideas??? Thanks!!

Check the circuit breakers. They're in the same electrical panel as your fuses. Does the light inside the fridge come on when you open the door?

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the White Hawk.

SkyBound asked about the fridge light, that is 12volt and I believe fridges need 12v for the temp control circuit*. Check to see if your battery is connected and charged or charging.


EDIT:* when on electric and for propane ignition when on propane.

Are you running on your battery or plugged to power at home?
Is the switch on the fridge set to "Automatic"?
If running off your battery, you will need to have LP on as well.
If running off shore power (plugged in to power at home), I would check the breaker and as said, see if the light comes on when the door is open.

AZ is correct you need both power sources to run the frig.

Make sure the RV is level, good 12V power, and good 110V power. Sometimes a simple switch to off, then back to Auto will help.
