Refrigerator -110 problem

   A neighbor of mine has a 2019 179 with a refrigerator that will not operate on 110 shore power.  It operates normal on propane.  He told me it beeps when he has it plugged in but does not cool.  So he pulled the 30 amp fuse out to stop the beeping.  He sent me a picture of his fuse panel with the fuse pulled.  I noted that the red light next to where the fuse was pulled was not glowing, not on at all.  The 12 volt battery is connected and shows a good charge 12.6 volts.  Does anyone have an idea why the red light is not on with the fuse pulled?  When he re-installs the fuse the fan on the WFCO converter turns on but then the fridge begins beeping again.

	Okay. I think it would do that if it has 12V power, but the 110V power is not available. You said he has it plugged in. There are some possibilities. One is that the breaker is tripped. The other is that the GFI outlet is tripped. The third is that somehow, the plug for the refrigerator got unplugged. First, if the converter is getting power and the fan is running, it sounds like he is getting power to the trailer. However, I have gotten the beeping when I have had 12V to the refrigerator but I had unplugged form shore power but not changed the refrigerator to propane or 12V power. So my thought would be to check to make sure the refrigerator is getting AC power. Use a multimeter at the outlet to check whether that outlet is live. If not, then it is most likely that if the breaker is not tripped, the GFI outlet is tripped. Reset that and the beeping should stop.
