You are confused.......
That 6v AC measurement on DC is a test of maximum AC Ripple
(AC voltage induced on 12V DC system by converter)
IT is not what you need to be testing.
You need 12V DC voltage to operate fridge controls (upper panel is all 12V DC)
120V AC power operates the electric heat element only. Has a 5a Fuse on lower board to protect element circuit.
The 12V DC comes from your battery/converter DC Dist Panel (FUSE)
If 3A fuse on lower board is bad....no 12V DC to operate fridge
Here is a link to service manual that includes your model. Pg. 13 Section 5.8 & 5.9----DC tests LINK
Could be blown 3A fuse
Could be bad lower board
Could be bad harness between lower/upper boards
You need 12V DC for fridge to work whether it is on 120V AC heat element of on propane
Plan 'B"........large ice chest
