Fridge Question

After owning r Pod an entire week, I've finally had the opportunity to check out some of the finer attributes it offers. Once I figured out the microwave/convection oven/grill, I moved right on to the refrigerator. I read the manual and followed directions as I read. It works beautifully on propane, however, it is not doing it's good thing on Plug-In mode. Yes, it is plugged in via extension chord, complete with surge protector, to the garage. Both ends are securely plugged in, well, all four ends really.  I checked the circuit switches in both the garage and the Pod, both are in the on position. I tried switching off and then on again, and then returned to the Pod to try the fridge again. Nothing...well, not nothing, the red Caution light blinks and it beeps at me. 

Any ideas?
Please keep in mind that if you have any explanations you're 'splaining to someone who is CLUELESS. If it has 4 legs and fur I can work with it, much beyond that and I'm out of luck. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
