Outside Fridge Compartment PlugIn

Color me dense but is the plugin located in the exterior fridge compartment for the fridge or the icemaker in our rig?

If you have one plug it is for the fridge heater and ice maker If you have two plugs one for each. The fridge has a 110V AC heater about 700wats

I have one plug so where is the plug for the fridge electric side?

There are many variations. Some refrigerator models required two separate 120 vac sources to operate the refrigerator on electric mode and for the ice maker to operate. If you have an inverter the receptacle for the ice maker was made to operate from the inverter but not the ref.
The newer ref. had a single 120 vac source and the ice maker was inter-connected.
Now they have 12 vdc operated ice makers so you can operate totally off grid with out 120 vac.
If you have two receptacles behind the ref. One will only be hot with generator or shore power - this one is for the ref. The one that is hot from inverter, shore power or generator is for the ice maker.
