First off....
Need to use a voltmeter and check that you have 120VAC at that terminal block
(Black is HOT, White is NEUTRAL---should show 120 volts between the two)

No 120VAC....check if the Circuit Breaker for Fridge in Main AC Panel is tripped.
Turn it OFF then BACK ON

YES 120VAC....then check the 3A fuse inside that BIG YELLOW fuse holder on the black wire



LP ...you got it to light and stay on.
How long did you let it run?
Fridge when starting up will take several HOURS to cool down. First the freezer THEN the food compartment


Furnace blasting out hot air anytime you run gas??
Is thermostat OFF?

Thank you for the follow up. I've checked voltage and it's good, 120VAC. Also checked the fuse and it's good as well.

Ok, good to know about the LP. I did notice the freezer portion starting to cool a little after an hour.

I would much rather have the fridge on AC since we don't do any dry camping and I hate keeping the LP on when away from the camper.

Furnace is weird. I did in stall a new thermostat since the original one was pretty horrible. I did try turning it off and even removing the face plate so there is no power but it sill blew hot. I will take a look at it again when I get home.

Thank you again for all the help. It is very much appreciated.

120VAC Good ..... Inline 3A Fuse Good
LP Lights off...freezer getting cool after an hour


PATIENCE.

Turn it back on AC and let it run overnight
Absorption fridges take several hours to cool down even your small cabinet model
Fridge LEVEL.......let it run

I don't have time for patience!!!

jk. Yeah, I called the service dept and he said a good rule is to plug it up the night before you want to leave and let it cool down.

I guess I was just concerned since I couldn't hear anything running when the fridge is on AC.

Sorry for the ineptitude and thanks all for the responses.
