Refir only works on LP

We have a 2014 Mountainier. We were camping in 80 degree heat recently and after 5 days it shut off overnite on 50amp electricity. and lately I`ve had issue with it staying on with electricity. It seems to work fine on gas. I looked at the fuses and couldn't find one for refir. Does anyone have a thought

Have you checked the electric plug that's mounted behind the fridge? Get access through the outside fridge cover and think it's on the left looking at the back of the fridge.
We had a similar issue with our converter in our 2955 and when I took down the basement wall to get at it found the plug had worked loose from the outlet.

I believe the your fridge will also be on a breaker.

In that same lower vent panel, there lives the electronics that control operation of the fridge. You will notice on the black cover that there are fuses for 12vdc and 120vac operation. There is also a 120vac breaker inside your unit in the converter panel. Failure to operate on either should show codes on the fridge panel which will be explained in the manual for the fridge. John

Last time out mine quit working on electric. Cooled fine on gas. Checked the control box and all fuses were good. 120v ac was good at the outlet and had 120v ac on the connectors on the heat element. Only thing could be from that point was defective heating element. Ordered new on for $45 and had it here in two days. Will install when I get unit out of storage for our next trip in June.
