110 power should be on a circuit breaker not a fuse. Have you looked at you breaker panel ?

Sometimes a breaker will look like it's not tripped when it really is. Check the breakers again maybe by turning each one off and back on. You will know if one was tripped if you do that.

If the fridge plugs into an outlet behind the vent cover remove the cover off the plug and test the wires with a voltmeter.
The plug in the outlet went bad in my 2002. The plug on the fridge cord wasn't making good contact with the outlet.

When you say you have no power are you talking AC or DC? Do the control lights come on (Power, Gas, Check)? If so you are missing AC power. Check your GFCI outlets, a lot of times the refrigerator in downstream of a GFCI outlet, normally in the bathroom or near the kitchen sink.

How I found my problem (see post #4) was I took the outside vent cover off behind the fridge and plugged my wife's hair dryer into the receptacle. The hair dryer would not work. I had already checked all the breakers etc. so I probed the receptacle with a volt meter. I had 110V. Plugged the dryer in again and nothing. I wiggled heck out of the fridge plug and the dryer would work then quit.
I replaced the receptacle and all was good. No problem since.
I also stapled the fridge cord so it couldn't bounce around while moving the MH. I think the constant jiggling of the cord and plug was the cause of my issue to start with.
