I am so confused. The fridge is running just fine on electric now -- but it is not plugged in!!! What's up with that??? Is it running on battery power? It is definitely set on electric and not on gas.
I am so confused.
If it is working "Fine on electric" then he has electric power. Possible sources of 120VAC are
1 Shore power (but you said you were not plugged in or did you mean the fridge was not plugged in more later)
2: Generator
4 INVERTER
Note there is a 12/120/Propane version but I don't think you have that as it don't work all that well on 12
Now. Some fridges have one plug and outlet in the outside compartmet
Some have two. one plug is JUST for the icemaker The other for the fridge.
But if you are not plugged into shore or running genny you must have an inverter if it's working on A/C.. Else it should auto-switch to propane and work.
How to test
Go out and open the outside comparment (one special instruction follows) Pull plug and plug in a 120 volt device (Drop cord with trouble lamp works great here) Does light work? You have 120vac if it does.
Special instruction
When replacing the cover make sure the drip tube (Ribbed black or white tube with a plug like thing in the bottom end) extends out via one of the vent holes.
