I would suspect that there is a ground fault somewhere that is controlling that side of the unit, but cannot locate - Any suggestions. Thanks
I assume you have a residential fridge. If not ignore the following.
If you are plugged into shore power, then the inverter is not being used, that is for when NOT on shore power. I have heard of a few failures of the transfer switch for the fridge. I would give it a love tap first, then I would kill ALL power shore and battery (disconnect cables) and rewire the connectors on the transfer switch to bypass it and place the fridge directly on AC. I put a receptacle in my basement so I could measure the power draw of the fridge before I spec's my solar setup which is why I need the plug. GFI is not involved with fridge. If the TV is also dead, then that agrees with my suggestion above, my fridge and TV are on same circuit.
