I can't now get the fridge in our rig to cool down on 120v, but it does fine on gas. There is confirmed 120v to the receptacle the fridge is plugged into. A couple months ago I ran a test from the portable gen with the fridge on 120v and a Kill-a- Watt meter that showed the fridge was pulling about 350 watts. All good.
Now just plugged into its own receptacle (120v confirmed) the Kill a Watt shows no watts draw at all and no cooling is happening in the fridge. I have not found why not yet, but I expect to eventually.
Point being, these things are not very sensible in how they act, so don't spend any big money right away until you are sure what's what.
Should be an easy fix. New heating element and 5 minutes.
Exactly^^^
Fridge not swapping from electric to gas means 120V AC is present to AND ON circuit board.
Could be bad element.
