Burstner Marano laid up over winter, habitation electrics isolated.
Connected last month to 240V to run a low power tubular heater.

Habitation electrics turned back on today, everything working apart from the fridge, not showing any lights in 12V, 240V or Gas setting.

Any advice greatly appreciated

Thanks MickyC,
Fuse - no specific fuse, but all visible fuses checked
Flat leisure battery - no
Bulb in fridge light - no internal bulb, only fridge control panel indicator, which is currently not lighting up
Does fridge work (ie get cold) - have now switched on and will leave on until 11pm

Hi landscaper
Yes, we are parked on a slope, but we always have been.
And why would it affect the electric light?

Just to add ...
Wondering if it could be something in the elektroblock control unit under the driver's seat - where the isolation switch is - as it looks like no power getting to the fridge. Might try switching that off then back on when we get back

Hi there, sorry didn't read properly and see it was the light affected - just that our fridge will not work at all when our van is parked on any incline. It took us ages to work this out!

OT disconnected 240V from van and habitation alarm light is flashing, maybe habitation battery is shot.
Van is a 56 reg so if it's the original battery, it's over 10 years old.
Going to check it with a voltmeter in the morning.
Now, where to buy a leisure battery between Stockport and Carlisle on Good Friday?!!

many many years! since I was a kid
I was going to say it sounds like the leisure battery is dead. not always obvious when hooked up to 240v as the charger will confuse things.

as a last resort Halfords are open over the easter holiday and stock leisure batteries

Thanks Thebig1 and phil.
Battery now checked (disconnected from 240V) and is fine
Fridge fuse located and checked
Control unit hoovered in case of dust issues
Still no lights on fridge control panel indicator and fridge not cooling on 240V

And just to add another spanner into the works, cab radio now not working!!

Lots of head scratching going on

thanks everyone who is trying to help
