I am not familiar with that model. Many "master" GFCIs (with the reset button) are in the bed/bath room. Given you have a rear kitchen I doubt that one controls the kitchen. But if you can't find an outlet with the red reset button, try looking in the bed/bath room.

Also check the pass through. You might also have a GFI circuit breaker in the braker panel.

The 3000RE is Rear Entertainment. Kitchen is located mid.

Check on the side of your island. Several have reported the GFCI outlet there.

Based on where they are in my 2018 unit - check these locations…
C is in the basement by the fridge inverter.

In addition to what has been shown, GFCI receptacles are used in wet and potentially wet locations, such as near a sink, outside outlets, etc. Check any of these locations as well.

Is this a residential fridge? If it is there is an inverter often on the ceiling of the pass thru and mine had a GFI reset on the plug on the inverter. If it keeps popping then you need to find and fix the wiring issue that is causing it.

I have a 2022 Montana 3791rd. The gfi in the pass through will not reset and every time I plug anything into the gfi outlet in the bedroom it sets off the inverter alarm(no code given)
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I had a similar issue. My GFI tripped intermittently. Sometimes I could reset and sometimes I couldn't. My temporary solution was to remove and bypass the GFI. I told my wife not to drop the toaster into the bathtub. I tested all of the outlets with a tester to assure neutral, hot and ground. The dealership reinstalled it but didn't give me definitive answer as to the reason. They said it was miss-wired.
