Rv fridge not working on ac power.

The air conditioner works wonderful when using the extension cord and running off my electrical power but it doesn t work at all when the generator is on. Check your circuit breakers and fuses. Ac is usually 115 volts and runs appliances such as the air conditioner. It does this by taking the ac power that s a higher voltage and converts it over to 12 volt dc.

Ac power comes into the rv from your generator or from the campground or other outlet you plug it into. A 20 amp 30 amp or 50 amp supply. First check that you are getting the energy to your refrigerator. Try operating the refrigerator on the 110 volt ac mode and propane gas mode.

If your fridge has a setting for 12 volt dc try that as well. Is there a switch i must throw to get it to. Propane fuel powers some appliances such as the refrigerator. Dc power runs from the batteries on the rv.

The ac power control panel distributes this power to the appliances and outlets that use ac power for example the air conditioner. Electrical power does not work. For full operational capability an rv absorption type refrigerator typically needs 120 volts ac 12 volts dc and a source of lp gas. Gas is usually the default source of heat for the cooling coils the 120 volts is the alternate source typically used when connected to shore power in a campground.
