Turn on 1 item at a time to see if the individual item is at fault. Turn off item if fuse does not blow. 4. Turn on all items, if fuse blows the circuit is being overloaded. Has anything been added to that circuit? Another light etc... Never increase fuse size to cure the problem!

The lights came on and stayed on and then I tried the fridge, and it blew the fuse on the highest setting (5). I then tried the fridge at a lower setting (3). The circuit stayed on for quite a while but then blew the fuse. If I disconnect the fridge altogether and put a new fuse in, the culprit would have to be the fridge right? If not then I am not sure how to track down a short.

Steve Roddy Lazydays Employee Posts 647	It did not blow the fuse on the lower setting if the refrigerator was cold because the refrigerator was not running until the thermostat called for cold. From what you have said so far it does sound like a wiring problem at the refrigerator. If you can not find a problem it will be time for a visit to the service department.
