At home getting ready for a trip, pluged into 15 amp outlet. Turned on refer. Then a while later I unpluged from the 15 amps Without turning off the refer. I then pluged back into the garage 15 amps and the refer won't work. Is there a reset button? Advice?

    Won't start on electric?  Checked the usual circuit breaker suspects?  At the source and the trailer?

    Electric,fuse good,source good, everything thing works fine in our 2020 320s..except refer won't cool. Changed to gas, guage in green, keeping fingers crossed. ( it is 89 degrees outside were the trailer is, maybe too hot to work?)

    @trimtab, did you check you AC wall outlets to confirm that they have power, especially the outlet for the refrigerator?  [The refrigerator outlet is under the sink on my 2019 320 S, but yours may be different.]

    Also, check to see if the GFCI on the trailer's exterior outlet (and inside as well) may have tripped.  That will cut the power to your trailer outlets.  Check the GFCI for the house outlet as well (assuming you plugged in to a GFCI protected circuit.)  It is possible that one of the GFCIs (house or trailer) tripped when you unplugged the 15 amp plug.

    Is the trailer level?  How much time did you give it to cool down?

    !!!!  it's not cold but the alumanim tabs inside are cool, a bit, to the touch.
    Looks like 6 hours to get to this point.

    I have a different (older) model 3-way, but I suspect they are similar with regard to the basic wiring.

    Mine has three additional glass fuses located on top of the unit, accessed by removing the stove top. IIRC, one of those fuses is for the DC circuitry, another is for the DC heating element, and the third is for the AC heating element. If that third one is blown, the fridge won't cool on AC.

    If yours is still not cooling down, it might be worth seeing if you have those same fuses. Your fridge owner's manual should offer info as to their exact location.

    It works...but in the heat it takes hours, 6-8 , to get cool.
