Atwood Helium Fridge - Freezer Works Fridge does not

We were boon docking and turned the fridge to gas. Had a burning smell and turned it off. It now doesn't work on A/C. All lights are accounted for as if it was cooling.

Any suggestions on where to begin to fix it would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you!

    Your title states
    ".......Freezer Works Fridge does not"

    But then you state burnt smell and AC not working either.

    Freezer cold (10*F or lower) and food compartment NOT cold (not getting down to 40*F) infers obstruction/blockage between evap coils

    But with the burnt smell...
    Remove lower vent/access cover and thoroughly inspect for burnt wiring/wire insulation on the 12V DC wiring, that includes pulling cover from control module and looking for any scorch/burnt marks
