Norcold N305 fridge not working

And now the furness is blasting out hot air anytime I run the gas. ??

Any guess as to what could cause this???

This freaking thing is only a year old and already having issues. ??

So I'm finally getting around to the fridge issue. I've tried ac again and nothing. I'm not that well versed in electrical so here is a shot of the terminal block

What should I be testing?

Also, tried on gas and was able to get the flame lit but the fridge is still not cooling? Since neither option is cooling the fridge is it something else wrong with it?

Fridge does NOT use DC
AC is direct.no DC control
LP is direct..no DC control

Battery doesn't even need to be charged or in the RV for fridge to work

Couple simple things to verify
With AC Power connected to TT
1) If you turn 'selector switch' to AC and the AC Thermostat Control set to any temp setting does the 'AC Indicator Light' come ON????
YES.then AC Element should be getting hot
NO...then need to:
*Verify you have AC Power at the fridge terminal block
**Verify that the AC 3A in line fuse is good (on output side of terminal block)

AC Heater Element is direct control....No DC control/DC required just AC Power

With Propane Valved in service
*Light off stove top burners on high to establish propane demand/flow
1) Turn 'selector switch' to GAS --- AC thermostat to OFF ---turn Gas Control to High Flame
PUSH and HOLD Gas Control IN .... Rapidly push Piezo several times for five seconds......Does the 'flame meter' move to GREEN?
May have to repeat several tomes until gas flow is present/established

GAS is all manual controls.....no DC Voltage required

WOW! Thank you for the quick reply and all the suggestions. I will dig in to this later to day and see what I can figure out.

Sounds like the over heat box on the back of the fridge is getting wet and tripping.
