When it Rains
When it rains it pours,  The fridge is still out and now the furnace does not work. This year is not starting out good.

What troubleshooting have you done? Do you have surge protection? Extended warranty?

We really need more info. Are you running the frig on propane? Is your battery good? Things like this are necessary for folks to make suggestions.

Are you out of propane? Sometimes shutting propane off and turning back on slowly fixes propane problem

Since both the fridge and furnace have two things in common, that being propane and 12V power. You can confirm you have propane by checking the operation of your stove burners, once that is eliminated as a possibility it leaves the only other common thing the 12V. You must have proper DC voltage to both for them to work, low voltage will kill the operation of both. Check your battery voltage at the batteries not with the crappy display in the RV.
My guess it is a voltage problem. Good luck with the troubleshooting and resolution.

Batteries are both good, Propane was shut off fore 10 min and then back on. Stove has no problem. Magnet did not help on the black box behind fridge. The light on the little black box should it be off or on? mine is off. Pulled one of the wires off the black box and I heard it click. so I did it again, so i'll see what happens. Also clean'd out the fire box.

Check your DC Fuses, the frig will not work without DC power. When you first turn it on, you should hear sparking sound if you are running without AC power.
Does the frig work on AC Power?

Fuses are OK Temp set to 8 but still does not get as cold as it did. Propane is a little colder than DC

Sounds like if you didn’t have bad luck you might not have any luck at all.
Hopefully things will get better for you with the warmer weather of Spring.
