Help! Atwood Refrigerator Will Not Work

I'm leaving tomorrow to go camping for a week. I went to the trailer today to turn the Atwood Helium refrigerator on ahead of time to use propane and all I get are all the lights...Check, Auto, AC, and Gas. The gas is working fine, I've turned the frig on and off several times like it states in the manual and nothing changes. It's only been used once and that was with shore power. I've read a few posts on some forums that there are fuses outside on the back of the frig to check? Anyone know where these are and what size they are? This is not in my manual.

Thanks

    Is there any lights on the control eye brow? No lights would indicate that the 12 volt power is not getting to refer. Check 12 volt DC panel for blown fuse.
    There is two fuses on the control board located in outside access. See page 10 of manual.

    Thank you! I completely missed the wiring diagram on page 10. The problem was indeed one of the 3AMP fuses on the outside box. I replaced both along with a 20AMP fuse that was there just for piece of mind. I'm good to go and learned something new!
