Rrferigator won't come on

I tried turning on my refrigerator today and I couldn't get it come on. Any thoughts on what the problem might be? I have an Escape 19. It was a little off level, I leveled it up, but still no go.
Thanks

The battery disconnect switch must be "on" (in the up position?) for the refer to run on propane or 12 volt. In other words, the refer must have a source of some electrical power even to run on gas.

Thanks Karen. I did check the battery switch. I also checked the fuse. I guess it's off to Al's rv before my trip. They did install a solar panel a couple of weeks ago.
We should try and set up a camping trip for the Whatcom County Escapees.

Well, I was hoping that was all it was but no cigar. Aside from the furnace sail switch going out, that's about the only issue I've had and, of course, that was operator error.

I think maybe there are four of us here now but not sure.

I took the trail or to Al's on my way out yesterday, the the refer is getting power. They thought that maybe a card was bad. So, it's back to using an ice chest for this trip.
A card had to be replaced shortly after I got the trailer.
I'm camping up outside Whistler and I think I will drop the trailer off at Escape.
Thanks for the input Karen.

I had the same problem earlier this year. The RV shop ended up replacing two circuit boards; the "eyebrow" board that is behind the top panel and the main circuit board on the rear of the refrigerator. Parts and labor were covered by warranty.
