    Question Residential Fridge Breaker

    We just got a new to us 2019 Solitude 377MBS with the residential fridge. Got her home and wanted to turn off the fridge for storage. The inverter was turned off and unit was plugged into shore power. Flipped the breaker labeled fridge and nothing, tied all the others still nothing, turned off the main breaker and still fridge is humming away. Only way the fridge shuts off is to flip the inverter breaker off.

    Is this normal? am I missing a switch somewhere? just doesn't make sense to me.

    Thanks
    Paul

    ​Welcome to the forum. Hopefully someone with a residential fridge will chime in .

    Yes it’s normal. The fridge outlet it wired directly into the inverter. The inverter will pass power through when plugged in.

    On our 310 the fridge shuts off with the breaker marked reefer turned off and inverter auto switch off. Have never turned off any other breakers.

    Doesn't really surprise me. I don't think there is much of a standard on how things are wired. My 2017 didn't work that way, it worked like the OP's.

    That will turn off the compressor but not the lights. If you want to prop it open so it doesn't get moldy the light will stay on and the warning bell will ding if your plugged in or the inverter is on.
