Cant turn on Fridge

Hi
I can't turn on Fridge after the winter rest. Leisure Battery charged up. Checked all the fuses. All help/advice needed.

What voltage does the control panel say the leisure battery is at?

Currently 12.7 but it was 13.5

When you press and hold the on/off in the fridge what voltage does the panel display?

I take it no lights come on at all when you press the on/off button

In my case, I couldn't turn it off , but it might be the same issue. Check the thread — it explains how to disassemble the device and check exactly that.
I am in Co.Galway if you are close by I could check it for you.

Thank you I read that thread last night. I feel when I press the button it is connecting.

If there are no lights at all indicating either no power or an issue with the panel or electronics and you’ve checked the fuses then it’s certainly worth trying the process suggested in the thread regarding re securing the front panel button array.
