Odd refrigerator problem

We are hoping to leave on a trip tomorrow morning. I turned on the fridge this morning. Then ran errands and came home with groceries. The fridge is NOT on BUT the freezer is on. Checking the owners manual it says the fridge will work on gas or electric and will automatically select electric if it is available. The trailer is plugged into shore power, the A/C is working etc. the fuse for appliances is good. Any ideas how I might get the fridge running? There is some sort of little sensor in the fridge. It is located on a short wire and is just hanging inside the fridge. Thanks

Thanks guys. I found a piece of plastic attached to one of the fins. It is rather odd in shape. I put the sensor into a small channel area in that plastic part. SO, that sensor will make a difference in fridge coolness even if it doesn't physically touch the fin?

Be patient ... freezer always gets cold first.

Yep, clip it back on fin, IIRC, up for colder, down warmer, but not a huge difference either way.
