Fridge not running when engine is on

I hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to getting back on the road!

We went out for the day on Saturday and noticed that our fridge was not working when the engine was running.  The leisure battery was also not charging.  
I use the van daily for driving to and from work but had not noticed this before Saturday.
Can anyone advise what checks to do to (hopefully) find and fix the fault.  

Looking elsewhere it may just be a switch or relay - I am just unsure where I would find it.  

Note that I have not yet looked through any manuals, which I will be doing today after work.  I just wanted to check here first!

Thanks,

Andrew

Two fuses hang above engine battery. One is for fridge , the other for split charge. The fuse holders get corroded due to water from scuttle. Check those and replace if necessary.

Thanks - I will have a look at that and let you know.  Appreciate the quick response!

Looks like the fuse holder and 15A fuse has melted... looking at the manual this should maybe be a 20A fuse though. The one next to it is 30A.

That's what mine looked like.....!

After replacing I wrapped them up in insulating tape.

Best place I've found is 12v planet.

Thanks Ian - ordered a 20A and 30A from there this morning!  Hopefully it arrives soon so we can get away on Wednesday!!
