1.9 cu. ft. fridge not working on 120V

Dometic 1.9 fridge on my 13" scamp no longer works on 120V.  12V and propane are fine.

I have tested the 120V receptacle it plugs into and there is power.  Before I start dismantling this system, any thoughts on what I shoudl be looking for?  A wiring diagram of the unit would be nice but I have not been able to locate one.

Corroded Contacts?

Had the same problem for the first time this spring with the fridge in our '06. Gained access to the switches by removing the control panel cover. Popped the 110V switch hold down with a screwdriver so I could lift it up slightly with the wires still connected. Used needle nose pliers to wiggle all four contacts. Proper operation was restored.

mostly the same

my 110 wasn't working, popped open the green switch and cleaned out with electronic cleaner and adjusted (read:bent) a bit to make good contact, appears to be working.  Found replacement switches on ebay if yours is too far gone.

Yes it was a bad green switch

Yes it was a bad green switch.  Did some repair on it and everything is working now.  Probably should get a new switch.
