Warm fridge and freezer

Well, I suppose I should have expected issues - it's an old MH (1993) and it sat over the whole winter, in storage.

We are prepping to drive back up north so I moved the MH to a full hookup site for a few days to check everything and pack to go back to Michigan. Water is fine, AC is fine but the fridge is not getting cold, at all, and it's been two days.

A few points:

Running on AC and the ammonia tank and lines are hot to warm - so the heater element seems to be working. On the first day it seemed that the freezer was working, though I don't have a thermometer. The fridge itself has not even cooled slightly in two days - the fins are warm to the touch. Now the freezer seems to be warm so neither one is working. The unit is level and, as I said, the ammonia is warmed up real good.

It is a Norcold 662, two way (no 12v operation). I just now flipped it over to propane but I don't expect any change since the heater element is working with 120v.

Thoughts?

I see you are in SE Michigan, sounds like it's time for a trip to Shipshewana Indiana to see Leon Hershberger @ National RV Refrigeration
Leon can rebuild your cooling unit or sell you one if he has it in stock. Leon is an Amishman, but is not the maker of "The Amish Cooling Unit", he fabricates his own using heavier materials than OEM. He did ours in September 2012 and it's still working great. Ours is a Norcold 1200 and our cost then was around $950 removed rebuilt and reinstalled. I had him install a ARPrv Control on our cooling unit last fall, now the temperature of the boiler can't get with in 250° of the normal cooling unit failure temperature.
