In my Coleman (Dutchman) 2455BH have a Dometic 2872 dual-source fridge. For some reason it doesn't want to run off 110. It will run fine off of LP and the light inside the fridge comes on, as do the control lights in the freezer. I've checked the GFI breaker at the panel, the GFI in the bathroom and I plugged a cellphone charger into the socket the fridge plugs into behind the panel. All of those are working. Any ideas? I'd hate to take it to the dealer for something I can fix myself. |

This guy has a repair video on almost anything that can break on an RV with a lot of troubleshooting tips. Troubleshooting An RV Refrigerator That Works On LP But Not On Electric |
| Thanks for the replies. And I did watch the video. I don't have a voltmeter, but I checked fuses at the control panel and couldn't see anything obviously wrong. So it may have a trip to the dealer in it's future |

| A multimeter is cheap and not too difficult to use. Every RV owner should have one in the toolbox. |

I actually just ordered a couple compact cheap ones (mostly for DC work) so I can bring one with me anytime I am away from home or away on an adventure.  I always seem to wish I had one with me when I don't  ETA/ These work well if you just want to leave some cheap ones laying around but use 9V. https://www.harborfreight.com/electrical/electrician-s-tools/multimeters-testers/digital-multimeters/7-function-digital-multimeter-59434.html These are what I just ordered to leave in my go everywhere mini tool kits because they take AA batteries. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CFVK5C8C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |
