Intermittent Problem with Fridge
I have a Dometic (RML 8555) gas/12V/120V fridge that occasionally stops working on gas or 120V (not sure about 12V since seldom us it). It only happens a few times a year and can happen at anytime - ...

Check your converter and coach batteries first. The fridge needs good constant 12 volt for the thermostat to work irregardless of what mode you are using.
My fridge would come on and you think it was working but then later on it would not cool.
What happens is the fridge reaches the temp set and shuts off like it should. Only thing is if there is a 12volt problem the thermostat won't work and the fridge can't come back on. Fools a lot of dealership repair shops. Doesn't get past a good mobile RV repair guy though.
Mine was low 12 volt from bad converter that actually was boiling my batteries. Henceforth my AC and fridge would come on but couldn't come 'back on' when the thermostat called for it. Dealership just wanted to replace both.:S Mobile Repair guy said otherwise.
Was a big learning experience for me how things work in an RV and how to always call a Mobile RV repair man! :B
