Did the "brand new fridge and magnum inverter" ever work? How long have they been new? What else doesn't work?

Sounds like the latching relay is not latching

Have someone hold the switch and you hit the relay with piece of wood. Might take a few times. Clean or replace

Have someone hit the switch, and follow the sound of the clunk to locate the latching relay. Use a tester to see if it has power on both large terminals. As stated, if it isn't latching, you wont get any 12 volt power to the house. If no power on each side, try bypassing it to see if it corrects the issue. If it does the relay is gone. This can be done by removing one of the large wires, and pairing it up with the large one on the opposite side. I have seen them go for no reason at all. We were just sitting there and all the lights went off. We bypassed it until we could get another one a few days later.

If you have lights odds are the disconnect is connecting properly

I had a problem not unlike yours on my Dometic. Service technician suggested a two step repair. INSIDE pull the "Eyebrow" off and unplug and re-plug the main umbicical cable.. Outside in the control box (the black box) do exactly the same thign... WORKING.

Home is where I park it.
