Ok. The circuit breaker was tripped. After reseting it the circuit breaker the fridge returned to AC mode and the gas turned off.
Why do u think the circuit breaker tripped n the 3 amp fuse blew?
Oh ya. I checked the two red wires on the heat stack and there was 12 volt power to both sides.
Thanks again for the help.

Prior to the breaker tripping/fuse blowing out....where you messing around with anything?
The AC circuit breaker would trip due to overload (probably on a 15A CB)
so for some reason? the CB sensed excessive amp draw......usually the 5A fuse on fridge control module will blow if the electric element was shorted.
The 3A fuse on fridge control module is for the DC circuits....
So where you messing around with the wiring?
Those 2 red wires on on stack....they go to the stack temp sensor and would lose 12V DC IF the sensor had tripped from overheating.
With fridge ON and in 'Auto'.....the fridge will use electric heater when AC Power is available. IF no AC power then it will auto swap to gas operation. Swaps back to electric when AC power becomes available again. Taking it out of 'auto' places it in gas operation mode only.
