I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask of not, but, can anyone help me or point me in the right direction troubleshooting my camper fridge?

Here's the short version: 1994 Dutchman, permanently resting at a year-round camplot. This spring when we went camping for the first time, the fridge didn't get cold not even a bit. The light comes on when you open the door, so it has shore power (breaker on) and the switch is in the electric position. We have never used propane to power it.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to iRV2, this is the right place to post your refrigerator question. Take a look at this refrigerator repair website to see if it helps.

Camper Saml, welcome to iRV2.com. We are glad to have you join us here and look forward to reading of your adventures and experiences. If you plug into the ref recepacle; do you have power? If not have you checked all circuit breakers and GFCI receptacles? If so you may have a bad heating element. Good luck and let us know what you find.
