The fridge fuse is the one by the drivers door.  That is pretty easy to get to.  I think one of them runs the water pump, and the other controls the fridge.  I could be wrong, but easy to check it when you hear it running.  Also parking the sliding door side to the sun might keep fan from running if windows or skylight are cracked a bit.
