Most of these refrigerators can run on either 110 volt or 12 volt power. The 110 volt power goes through a converter that changes 110 volts AC to 12 volts DC. The fridge actually runs on 12 volt DC. There may be another inline fuse on the fridge. You may have to pull the fridge to check this.

If the fridge does not run at all or if a light near the temp control does not come on, then the fridge is probably not getting power.

If it runs but does not get cold, it could be the compressor or refrigeration plumbing. You might have a bad compressor or a leak in the plumbing. In this case it might be best to just replace the fridge. I know, they are expensive, but in the long run it might be best. Hope this helps.

Does not run on any power, I dowloaded a service manual and will start the recommended testing, lots of "fun" this boat ownership is.
Thanks for the suggestions.
