The Norcold N10DCX-10 refrigerator will not power on. I have dual batteries in series fully charged with solar charging working.

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas?

Last time I checked RV battery systems are 12 volt. If you have two batteries in "series" then you are putting out 24 volts. That's too much power. It could be that you have overpowered something. Hooking two batteries in "parallel" would produce only 12 volts. My first check would be what amount of battery power do you need. I have a 2025 RV with a 12 volt , 16 cubic foot refer run from a single 12 volt battery on a solar panel. You may need a tech to look at the wiring to see if you fried a circuit or something.

Best of luck. Hope it is nothing real serious.

Also I noted in the photos is says that the fridge is 12 volt. I'd lay odds that you have fried the fuse or circuit by providing too much power. You may have other 12 volt circuits with issues.

Please post what the end result was/is

I believe you have mistakenly stated batteries in series since your images show clearly 12V operating voltage levels. This means your in parallel. This leaves voltage the same but is additive in the Amperes rating. So, two 100Ah batteries in parallel equals 200Ah capacity. Now, about your fridge, if it’s 12V it won’t be a breaker that’s tripped. It will be one of the DC fuses that may be blown. Your panel has a series of AC breakers for your 120V loads, but also a row of DC fuses to protect all the 12V loads. Look there for the fridge and check its fuse. Also, just in case, make sure batteries are in PARALLEL!!!
