Refrigerator only runs on inverter

Looking for some help. Returned home the other afternoon and when I shut off the inverter when i connected to shore power the refrigerator was dead. I checked all the breakers and such and none were tripped. I put the inverter back on and the fridge came back on. Any thoughts or suggestions? It's a 2020 High Country we just picked up.

So I read your message as the inverter runs the fridge, but plugging into shore power and turning off the inverter does not result in the fridge running. Don't know what inverter you have, but this sounds like the transfer switch, either built into the inverter or a separate unit, has failed. If you can get to the fridge power cord in your unit, unplugging the fridge and connecting it to another a.c. outlet in your unit via an extension cord should confirm the transfer switch being bad. Assuming you flipped the circuit breaker for the fridge totally down and then back on, the 120vac feed from the breaker into your transfer switch or combined inverter/transfer switch is no longer connected or transfer switch has bit the dust.
