2005 refrigerator

Does anyone know where the breaker is for the dometic stock 2005 frig? I’ve confirmed the ac outlet under the outside cover is dead.
All suggestions are appreciated!

Doug

On our 2005, breakers and fuses were collocated in a fuse panel on the right side by the stairs. Breaker for the frig was clearly marked behind the panel cover.

I would have assumed that as well, in my case there is none. I reset every breaker just to cya, even checked most of the low voltage. There has to be a relay to sense AC and turn that outlet on and the gas off. Unless it’s in the fridge itself..

The function to sense a/c presence is on the control board. On my 2006 the outlet is always hot when plugged in to shore power. Designated as "refrig" in the breaker box. Some times those outlets just go bad. Test the wire. If it is in fact dead you can put a toner on the two conductors and try to trace them with an amplifier. If the frig is in a slide there will be a junction box under that slide. Check there for loose connections.

If no junction box under the slide, then the connection will be in the very rear back corner of the trailer, coming in from the bottom you should be able to trace two Rome lines, one 14 gauge for fridge and one 12 gauge for the microwave. Wiring on my trailer runs along inside bottom of slide wall behind an easily removable carpet covered board. Wiring should have transitioned from normal Rome to flexible stranded wire there and back to Rome once inside the frame of the trailer.
