My Dometic Fridge will not power on. Also the fuses were dead I switched them and the lights inside the RV power on again but the fridge will not power on.

Need a little more information. My crystal ball broke yesterday! Make, model, year of RV would go a looong way on troubleshooting your problem!

Welcome to the forum. I think more info is needed. Brand and model number of refrigerator? What happened or was done before it stopped working? You haven't given us anything to work from.

First thing I would eliminate is the wiring inside the trailer. Unplug the fridge in the back and plug it into an external AC source. Probably not your problem, but one thing to eliminate as a possible cause.

Are you trying to run the fridge on propane or AC power? Does it work on one and not the other? Did you check the voltages at the fridge?

RV refrigerators take a while to cool off. How do you know it is not powering on?

I assume that when you say you switched on the fuses and the RV interior lights came on your talking about the circuit breakers? Your fridge should have it's own set of fuses (not circuit breakers) which maybe located under a black plastic cover. On my rig you would access the fuses by going outside and removing the exterior vent cover.

Weekend Warrior Super-Lite FK2100, The Fridge/Freezer is a Dometic MODEL Number: RM2652. Yes I know all that already, and I already tryed that ksg5000. I have (ALWAYS) ran the fridge on Electrical power (NEVER) gas. Yes, I have tryed using an AC source did not work. I switched the fuse's where the cooling unit and the fridge are and then nothing happened. I was out of town I came back and noticed he fridge was out and the controls were not working either. Also what I mean by control is the Monitor located right next to the CD/Radio.
