Hello fellow engineers
I have no power to my refrigerator when plugged into shore power.
First step to look for is?

You checked the fuse? Fridge is plugged in firmly to 110 outlet?

yes, and yes, but today it decided to start working again.
What will happen is the refrigerator will stop working and give a fault code that means no shore power or not enough. I've got at least and 18 gauge extension cord.

18 gauge is too small. You may not be getting enough volts at the fridge.

10 or 12 gauge and as short an extension as possible. You also require stable 12 volts for the mother board regardless whether running on 12v, 120v or propane.

OK , switch up to a 12 gauge cord, and moved the RV closer to the outlet.
So far, so good. Will see, thanks
