Refrigerator wiring for 2004 FV 250

amajamar

I could have sworn that the fridge worked with batteries off (and plugged in to shore power) when at my house, but now that it's in the water, it will only work on batteries.  When I kill the batteries, it won't run.  My fridge is the ac model, and it looks like it's plugged in.  The wiring diagram in the manual says there should be a breaker for the ac side of the fridge, but I don't have a breaker marked for it on the ac panel. If there is a tripped breaker, I can't find it.

Any ideas on this issue?

Thanks!

My 99 270 is battery only, just a note the inline fuse for the fridge on mine was behind the battery switch

My 12V circuit breaker is next to my battery switch, as well.  I could have sworn mine was running at home with the shore power plugged in...

It probably was, the battery switch may have been on and charging.

So the power came from the charger even though the battery switch was off?  I didn't think that could happen, but I guess the bilge pumps are always powered...

Fridge & Bilge are always hot they are wired around the battery switch

My 2005 270 I have to have the range breaker on, to power the fridge when hooked up to shore power.
