Where's the fuse for the fridge? 2022 Minnie 2327TB TT

I have a recent-gen Minnie travel trailer (2022 2327TB, to be exact) that came fitted with a Dometic 12V refrigerator (the DMC4101).

When I found this fridge evidently without power today (no lights, not running, not cold), I went on the hunt for a blown fuse or tripped breaker. I looked underneath it, behind the access panel there, and found only wiring. It isn't on the main electrical panel, as far as I can tell. It isn't up front near the battery.

I tried calling Winnebago Travel Trailer Customer Service, hoping for a wiring diagram, but simply got a message saying that they're in a meeting.

Eventually I dug up the manual at Dometic's website and discovered that all I needed to do was hold down the Mode Selection Button for three seconds to turn the thing back on. That controls power to the lights as well as the rest of the fridge.

It remains, though, that I have no idea how the circuit for the refrigerator on this rig is protected. Does anyone happen to know?
 
If your TT has a WFCO power center, if you open the door you will see 2 sections, a 12 V section with 12 V automotive style fuses and a 120 V section with AC circuit breakers. If you get lucky someone labeled the 12 volt fuses. Typically the refrigerator control board is fed by a dedicated 5 amp fuse. The WFCO is generally mounted flush into a sidewall or side of a cabinet and will be brown or black rectangular with a door you can open.
 
The 12V+ wire to the 12V fridge will not be small, look for the largest wire behind the fridge and start tracing back to the battery feed.
If that wire goes hidden, borrow a tone generator to help locate the wire in a bundle.
