I hired electrician to install a home outlet for my camper. He accidentally over powered it. My fridge doesnt run on electric any more. Only gas. I want to fix it. Where do i start?

How do you "over power" a electrical receptacle?????? If a 3 wire 30A receptacle was wired 240VAC the neutral and ground are bonded in the RV and this would trip the house circuit breaker once plugged into the RV.

CORRECTION:
After thinking this over the secondary panel in the RV will not have the neutral and ground bonded together.

To answer the OP's question. Unless you are good at reading electrical schematics and trouble shooting you need a good technician. Any number of things can be at fault including incoming power, both 12VDC and 120VAC.

He ran 50 amp 220 instead of 30 amp 110

Did your electrician wire the 50A 240VAC into a 50A 4wire receptacle??

There's a fuse for the 120 volt AC on the control board. Look in the back of the fridge and find the board and you'll see it.

There may also be a fuse behind the front display panel. On my previous Keystone it would only run on gas and the dealer found that fuse was blown. Not sure where behind the display panel but that is what the service manager told me.

Hi,

Do any of the A.C. Outlets work? Microwave?

Before you let the electrician off the hook, be sure that everything else works properly. Especially the converter and microwave since they are connected all the time when breakers are on.. If my memory is correct there is a black cover over the two fuses in the rear of the fridge and you may want to check the GFIC too.
