Referencing Bob213's comment about no matter how the frig is being powered.

I don't understand comments about it being a low battery. My battery went dead because I forgot to turn the breaker on after connecting to shore 3 months ago. I will be getting a new battery today. The 50 amp power has been on for 2 weeks and everything functions without a battery which I removed 3 days ago.. Fridge was turned on Sunday and has been on normal temps since then.

It could be failing battery. Converter could be putting proper voltage out but battery shorted.
I would take battery out or at least disconnect it, then charge it up. Wait overnight for battery to stabilize. If it goes flat, replace the battery.

Yesterday, my battery was showing 13.3 volts, today it is down to 12.02 volts. It looks like my power supply unit stopped charging the battery. I will double check my connections. I may charge my battery also.

Thank you for the replies.

Get out your voltmeter and measure your 12vdc voltage.. anywhere.

Sounds like your battery is low. If you are plugged in to 110v then your converter is not charging battery. Refrig. needs 12v for control board no matter how it's running.
